I work with a guy who posts questions to our dev team's group chat that are worded like this. It's like wading through Herman Melville, but without any substance.
Oh no, I ADHD-post all the time. This guy's different. He doesn't overexplain; he just devolves into 500 words' worth of circular 18th century prose to ask how to run unit tests in an IDE.
Oh no, I can't imagine needing a background in lit crit to understand somebody's slack messages. I should not need to peer through layers of symbolism to understand code
"What was the theme of the junior .Net developer's long-winded Skype message? What symbols did he use to communicate that theme? How did his diction and tone enhance those symbols?"

at least a junior can be coached. it's the longer-tenured people posting like that because they're high on their own supply that's the worst
but do them a favor and do that coaching so they don't become that senior
