        This is why interrupting programmers is such a big deal and needs to be avoided. Programmers spend all of their time trying to get into the zone and once they achieve it losing it can be devastating to productivity.

        Oh you mean it's a bad idea to put them in a giant open floor plan with tons of jackasses interrupting them all the time, talking, shooting marshmallow guns, etc? We give programmers their own offices, I'm proud to say. Silicon Valley trends are really anti-productivity.

          No kidding. Open plans, tons of communications channels, Macs. These things are crazy for programmers.

            And instant messenger.... nothing like continuous pop ups on the desktop in the middle of working.

              There are just so many "channels" of interruption at most jobs. Email, phone, messenger, people stopping by, your cell phone, Facebook or whatever you use. The amount of time that you spend seeing why something is alerting you is more than you can spend doing anything else.

                Sounds like most programmers (people?) should work out a home office.

                  I've always thought that. My first job in 1989 for Eastman Kodak was from a home office!

                    I think that more and more firms are realizing the value of keeping people at home so that you can actually get work done. It makes the day longer for work too. The commute time, the lunch time, the water cooler time - all those things that cut into the day because you are in the office mostly go away when working from home.

                      Yes but you were a teenager and your father worked there...

                          But he wasn't involved on the project I was on. Not really related.

                            Just saying if you don't think he had something to do with you getting in there that is silly.
