Interrupters are people who don't listen to what others are saying. Playing nice with others is usually is required to be a good developer (depending on what you're working on, software is rarely a solo effort).
Not only that, you can learn something from other people as you don't know everything all the time. Constantly learning is required to be a good developer. You can't learn when you interrupt.
I worked with an interrupter, he was one of the most incompetent programmers I've ever seen but wasn't capable of understanding his own incompetence because he was too busy interrupting others.

However, most people take sooo long to get to the point that I often know how their sentences will end before they do. So I interrupt them. Some people get offended, and insist on finishing their sentences. In about 99% of the cases, I correctly predicted their point.
- elwell 11y agoI feel the same way. And I would like to imagine that I wouldn't be too bothered if someone cut me off and quickly expressed how we were 'on the same page'.
