This is what it feels like. Every time.

This is one of those posts you end up slowly writing in your head for years. The build up of repeated questions, patterns, and frustrations where you eventually wonder if you could summarize this in a way that could help others.

If the message was instead “I have a question I could use your help with…” it would remove so much of this friction.

I think the emailers have good intentions, and are trying to will that request to be easy… but as the receiver, all I feel is frustrated at the mismatch in understanding about the magnitude of effort involved in answering.

Hi people working with data teams! I wish I could ban the phrase “quick question” from work messages. The majority of them usually require thoughtful, data-backed responses that take 30+ minutes to answer well (if they are not entirely separate projects!)

'why are there suddenly so many gay/transgender/non-binary' people? idk consult the left-handedness chart.

@susancain In short, culture and work environment has a lot more to do with who is “10x” than the common usage floating around would have you believe. (6/6)
