I think 'do not disturb' mechanisms are vital for serious programming work. There's a huge chasm between work that you've essentially done all the parts of before, and are just combining, and brand new ground (which can be a tricky bug). We might condition people around us to believe that the stakes aren't high, which unfortunately when problems require us to load them entirely in brain cache to efficiently manipulate them, our frustration is hard to communicate
- ipnon 6y agoThe worst part about this is how productive I seem when I can be interrupted at any point in time. The interrupters find me to be fantastically productive because I can assist them at the drop of a hat. Those who sit an inconvenient distance from my desk (usually because they are sitting in the board room) don't share the luxury, and find my inability to complete work in a timely manner disturbing.
