from Diary 2024-09-13 Time to focus and immediate response
igz0 “Programming requires time to concentrate on your work undisturbed.” “The art of work is based on immediate response.” How do all IT engineers who program resolve the contradictions that arise with the two rules? Isn’t it kind of hard?
nishio I don’t think it’s possible to have both w hrjn: I’m trained so I’m almost brain dead and can respond immediately or put it on the task list immediately, but back when there was no Slack, I used to have a strong style of “please make it all a ticket”. nishio I’m not trained and I have 103 bookmarks on Slack, what should I do() hrjn: If you don’t get a prompt after about 3 days, you can probably forget about it.
nishio I’ve put a bot in between that responds to messages immediately, and when the pomodoro is over, it asks, “What’s coming?” When the Pomodoro is over, the bot will prioritize and tell you what’s coming (and will skip the ones you don’t need to rush through).
