I recently came back from a winter break and have started working
again... only to immediately run into the dilemma of people sending me
cliffhanger messages again.
# No Hello
A year or two ago, I discovered [no hello](https://nohello.net/en/) and
have thought about it often since then. I\'ve even sent it to a few
people since then (who wouldn\'t take offense to it).
I work in a fast-paced environment where efficiency is extremely
valuable. Therefore, I have always held a deep displeasure for
conversations where people start with \"Hello\" and then.
I searched back through my work messages and found that I received \~50
messages from \~10 people last year from people that contained \"hi\",
\"hey\", or \"hello\" and did not contain any indication of the purpose
of the conversation. I also noticed that a few of the users were
responsible for the large majority of the cliffhangers.
There\'s no real point to this post, just a desparate request for people
to please stop doing this.
