When is the best time to ask questions on the Toaster?

Question

Habr Q&A

I often catch myself thinking that I will remain unanswered if I ask a question now, because it seems that now there are few specialists online, and my question will go far into the archive.

Of course, it would be convenient to have the "Question is still relevant" button, so that once every two or three days you can raise a question on it (the button), and not break the rules and create new questions on the same topic. Of course, you can call a specialist, he will even spend several days looking for an answer, but if he doesn’t like the answer? if there was a discussion in the comments and it would be interesting to know the opinion of others?

But we use what we have and it would be interesting to know your opinion when it is better to ask a question. Weekdays or weekends? In the morning or towards the end of the working day? Or maybe closer to night?
Or maybe I'm wrong and even at 4 in the morning ask a question and not worry?

Answer 1

Usually, a question will always be answered if it is well-formed (a normal title, in fact, the steps of reproduction are described in the question, the code is well-formed - with tags, formatting, without unnecessary water), then everyone runs to answer it even at atypical times. Even “in prime time” I don’t want to answer if it’s clear that a person just wants to dump his thought process on others and hasn’t googled any solutions. Those. the problem is more often in the question itself than in the time it was
posted. Upd. I read your questions, it seems that you should not worry that they will not answer)) Usually, to speed up, it is best to call an expert on the main tag, they answer within a day

Answer 2

don't worry

Answer 3

Everyone has a different time on the globe :) I have a late Siberian evening right now :) And in Moscow and Europe, the evening is early, so now there are usually a lot of questions on the toaster. Four hours later, when my late evening turns into an early night :) (and I won’t go to bed because I’m a dumbass), activity will subside and will fall in proportion to the onset of night in Moscow and Europe. Then it will generally drop to zero, and when you come to work in the morning - as a rule, it’s quiet on the toaster before lunch - Moscow and Europe are still sleeping.
Hence the conclusion - it is better to ask questions when there are a lot of people on the toaster, and here you need to focus on the time of Moscow and Europe - when they have the first half of the working day.
Well, of course, Daria Motorina correctly noticed- Design matters. You usually don’t want to answer a stupid question or a question like “I was given a task here”, no matter how it is framed

Answer 4

For you it's 4 in the morning, for someone it's 7, and for someone it's one in the morning.
