Async Communication Best Practices

Sync (Real-time):
- Fast feedback
- But requires both present
- High context switching

Async (Delayed):
- Works across timezones
- Everyone can think
- Better documentation
- No interruptions

❌ Sync style:
"Hey, quick question about the thing"

✅ Async style:
"Question: In database.py line 42, why use 
synchronous queries instead of async? 
Is it intentional or for simplicity right now?"

❌ Unclear:
"This doesn't work"

✅ Clear:
"When I run `npm test`, the integration 
tests fail with 'ENOENT' error. Happens 
on main branch too. Details: [log excerpt]"

❌ Wrong:
"Really need this reviewed ASAP!!!"

✅ Right:
"No rush, but when you get a chance, 
this is ready for review."
