I'm glad to hear this voiced in the communities I've attended. Honestly, I'm having extreme bouts of difficulty explaining this to the folks I collaborate with. They are genuinely wonderful folks, but I just can't seem to get across the severity of even minor interruptions. Sometimes, I will deliberately engage in nothing but research until everyone is out of the office. Then, I start coding. Not an optimal resolution, by any means, but until articulating this amicably is possible, it's what I've got.
