I don’t really see a problem with that. Also it shouldn’t vibrate if you’re already in the chat. So that really isn’t a problem since you usually see that the other person is typing and usually wait for them to send the message as long as they aren’t taking too long.
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)

I don’t really see a problem with that.
and I do, because it doubles the amount of notifications I receive. if 5 people ask me something that way, I end up with 10 notifications, half of them being a pointless “hey”. it’s just plain inconsiderate.

I don’t always immediately rush to check my phone when I get notified, especially when the alerts are fired in a rapid sequence like that.

Then you’re slow. I almost always have the phone in my pocket

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.

Yeah same here, if they don’t say anything after “hey”, then I’m not going to put in additional effort to get more work dumped on me
