Somewhat random side note - I find it so fascinating that developers invented this myth that they’re the only people who have ‘concentration’ when this is so obviously wrong. Ask any ‘knowledge worker’ or yell even physical labourer and I’m sure they’ll tell you about the productivity of being "in the zone" and lack of interruptions. Back in early 2010s they called it ‘flow’.
- dakshgupta 2y agoMy theory is that to outsiders software development looks closer to other generic computer based desk jobs than to the job of a writer or physical builder, so to them it’s less obvious that programming needs “flow” too.
