I have keyboard shortcuts to turn it red and green. It's taped to my monitor with a note that asks people not to interrupt me if it's red.
I have a friend who has a script which cycles his light to green for 5 minutes every hour, to give junior devs opportunities to talk to him.
Big, visually-obvious headphones.
Work from home.
- partisan 10y agoThe light thing seems passive-aggressive. If communication is so dysfunctional that you have to resort to this, I think it is a sign of a problem.
- closed 10y agoI don't see what's passive aggressive about it. It's explicitly communicating when you're open to interruption (without having to wait until you're interrupted).
- cle 10y agoI agree, it's definitely a sign of a problem. But it's a problem that I have no power to solve. So I have to resort to silly things like this in order to maintain the long-term focus I need to be productive.
