What's the disadvantage? I really only see advantages.

So here's an example:


you: hey

you: are you free right now?

other: nah. Sorry

other: but I shold have time around 17:00.

you: Ok. Call me when you're done. It's kinda important

other: Ok


The first message introduces a conversation followed by a follow up. As soon as you send the first message it's easier to send the second one too since you already introduced the conversation.

The other person then answers with a short answer where they don't really have to think about what they write and how they write it. You instantly get an answer.

What's the disadvantage?

A: hey (my watch vibrates once)
A: are you free right now? (my watch vibrates again)
B: nah. Sorry (their phone plays the sound once)
B: but I shold have time around 17:00. (their phone plays the sound again)

as opposed to:

A: hey, are you free right now? (one vibration)
B: nah, sorry, but I should have time around 17:00 (one sound played)

The amount of times I’ve had to send this to other developers is infuriating. I’ll wait 5 mins for them to send the part after “hey.” I’m not replying back without an inquiry. I’ve got work to do.

I don't bother responding to 'hey' messages either. Tell me what you need.

My friends in a group chat sometimes have something to ask me so they be like: 'Hey, Critical_Insight?' - to which I two hours later reply: 'Yeah?' and then maybe an hour later I get the actual question and an hour from that I reply to it. If they instead would've just asked the question in the first message, I then would have answered to in in my first reply, and then be done with it. Maybe it's just me, but I see that as waste of everyones time.
