ASK VS GUESS CULTURE

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Ask culture is when you ask for what you want. It proposes that it's fine to make requests that someone can say no to, as it’s important to take care of your own needs first. Guess culture is when you only ask for something if you’re quite sure the other person will say yes. It proposes that it’s rude to put someone in a position where they have to say no. One’s default culture is rooted in their family upbringing and cultural background. However, at work, it’s important to be an ask-culture person, as that is often what’s required to make career progress.
