Kinda wish there was something we're you had someone watching you to make sure you aren't procrastinating. Wouldn't have to be a peer - you could have someone offshore keeping an eye on a bunch of people at a time, ready to yell at them.

Be careful what you wish for? No seriously. This seems like it's about to come true in a not so pleasant way.

I read this in a comment on HN, but you could record yourself as if you're live coding, which has been just as effective for me at preventing procrastination and helps me stay focused, and even provides my own rubber ducking :D

I could swear I read somewhere about an app where you share a severely scaled down (or maybe slightly blurred?) version of your desktop throughout the entire workday. I would allow your mate to sense the situation when you could be more available for chatting/socializing/etc. My google-fu is failing me, I think I saw it ~2019 but cannot find anything now. And of course the focusmate seems to be still a thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21352305 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21352305

I think something like this exists, where you can schedule time with someone to work over video so that you can stay focused. I've seen it mentioned before on here but I don't remember the name.
