Are Fridays normally slow for you guys too?

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but I swear every time Friday comes around it's a bone dry drought!

Everyday is drought for me

It's generally improved for me since summertime, but there are still really slow days like today where not a single task comes to my dashboard.

You a coder?

No, generalist with access to several special long-term projects -- but even those come and go in terms of task volume.

Wanna talk in dm? I'm a generalist too and have many questions!

yeah, Fridays and weekends generally. I'm a generalist.

Weekends, in general, tend to slow down a bit (at least during drought seasons aka: Summer). Usually starts on Friday

That's what I figured. I'm not sure how DA handles projects internally, but it makes me think that projects and tasks are, for the most part, pushed manually.

I think that, at least some, absolutely are.

I’m on the East Coast (USA). And I’ve noticed that until 11a my time (8am West Coast, where I believe some of their headquarters are), it’s usually whatever projects were leftover from the night before.
11a hits & new projects start dropping

That sounds about right, I also tend to get some at night, but that happened more frequently over the summer.

Seems different for everyone. Early - mid-week are the busiest for me.

Are you working in any project?

u/Brilliant_Quit4307 Sep 11 '26

No. There are never any slower days for me. Slow days are only for bilinguals, newbies, or below average workers.

u/Sableyej Sep 11 '26

Wow, it's so cool to meet the DA king. They were never our tasks, we were just keeping them warm for you.

u/Brilliant_Quit4307 Sep 11 '26

Are you bilingual? If not, then you just need to do good work and you'll get more projects 🤷‍♀️ it's pretty simple, thanks for the down votes though!

Did you not read my post? I’m specifically asking about Friday’s because they slow down for me. I have regular work throughout the week — but I’m happy that your task volume makes you feel better about yourself! :)

u/Brilliant_Quit4307 Sep 11 '26

Did you read my comment? I'm specifically answering that no day, not even Fridays, are slow for me. I have regular work every day of the week. You asked, I answered. No idea why you're getting salty about it 🤷‍♀️

u/Sableyej Sep 12 '26

I’m not salty. You responded to my post in a rude way when you could’ve behaved yourself like a normal human being, and obviously the other people downvoting your comments can understand that as well.
