It's interesting to read the comments here. Without taking a stance, it looks like everyone has a different personal experience in terms of how fast their life circle expects them to respond digitally.

I see it as two types of people.

Managers expect quick responses. They jump into meetings. They ask for frequent status updates. They're pissed when you ignore them for a day.

Makers need time to think and create. They code for hours of uninterrupted time. They're generating art or fine tuning a song. Asking for a status update is an interruption, and every interruption isn't a lost moment, but a severe disruption.

You're seeing that in the comments. Some are makers. Some are managers. We both require different things.
