Recently, I bought a book called Code Complete 2, which is one of the best software engineering books around based on my research.
One of the topics I’m reading is about the mental juggling act that programmers are required to do on a regular basis. In a high concentration mode, keeping track of various objects, classed, functions and variables, programmers are sometimes in a “zone”. I know this, because I’ve experienced it many times. At times like these, you’re just so focused, that a tiny, quick interruption will just break everything and the result is like crashing down mentally. It’s very annoying and drains so much energy out of someone.
So people, if you’re trying to get your programmer upset, or you have a beef with a programmer and are trying to get back at him, wait till he’s in the “zone”, then just try your best to distract him. Guaranteed to annoy the heck out of him
