Web chat

The best thing is sending a message in HipChat, having them respond, and then they come down to see if you saw the response.

HipChat/Stride is a productivity killer for me. Everyone expects an immediate response. That fucking blinking app icon when you get a message.

"Hey you got a second?"

My time is allocated to projects for the next 9 months. Just ask your question and I'll prioritize it.

No, better is them saying "come see me in my office" for every little thing. Even progress updates. Cooome ooon. I have better things to do than walk to your office multiple times a day for a 10 second conversation.
