I don't mind them, but I would like if people keep it short. I work on feature X, I have this problem, I need help. Or I work on feature X, I don't need help. It always devolves into whole blog posts.

Also when you are in a small team and communication is fast and efficient, they are superfluous. Team members already can ask for help and you know what everybody is doing.

Exactly. Around here we have daily standup via Teams even when we are all in the office. Sometimes it seems more an excersise on 'look at all the tools we got to our disposal!' than a functional communication. Plus the fact nobody has time/the mood/the mindset/the care to help with complex problems. You touched it, you're the owner, the solver and the guru for eternity for this particular thing. Oh well. It gives me plenty of time to drink coffee.
