People who say "hi" on slack and then take 50 years to say what they actually want to say.

People who sit on the table beside yours to play games on their phones.

People who call you dad.

People.

Hi

Aaand, I can't even post a rant with so little chars... Yet coworkers and customers find it ok to only write hi and wait for me to respond.. Just write what the fuck you want in one go so I can decide if I really need to jump, or I can get back to this later..

Sorry bud.

Worst coding interruptions are, by far, instant messages. Especially messages I don't care about. People who tag an entire channel when they shouldn't. The Diversity and Inclusion channel that everyone has to join that tags the entire channel, all 2000 members, at least once a day to share some blog post nobody wants to read. Other employees sending "Hi" to me and expecting an immediate response even though I don't know what they want yet. People who think Slack is an alternative to our support ticket system.

I am often tempted to just sign out for the day, but unfortunately some of the messages are actually important...

The worst one was my mother calling me to say "The ambulance is here so they are taking me to ER, I might have a stroke. Call you...".

And then silence... I called my brother who was as freaked out as me. As it was like a couple of months after my father died...

And she forgot her mother fucking smartphone!!!! The next fucking morning the hospital called us!!! Worst time ever!!!!

Diarrhea

"Dude, you HAVE to check out this meme i saw...

On DevRant...

No; of course it's not in the joke/meme category!"

Worst codding interruptions? That's easy: fucking meetings.

You know they're coming up. They start to drain your focus. You double check the clock/start time. You ask yourself if you were supposed to prepare anything. You typically waste an hour of your time over something that could have been a fucking e-mail (or doesn't even matter at all). You come back to your desk, and your focus is broken and you wonder when the next meeting is coming up.

Worst coding interruption?

The fire alarm going off.
That's when you learn how quickly it's possible to git commit and push

My boss. Always forgets what he assigned me to do and assigns me to do something different just about each time we meet

Worst and most anoying coding interuption is the need to pee.
First you ignore it, but suddenly it starts to hurt.

When I told someone to read the docco+wiki and ask me if there were problems, for them to come back every five mins to tell me "so, how does this all work?"

I wrote the wiki and it was A-Z. There's nothing I knew about the product that wasn't in the wiki.

It took me so much self-control to not bash his head into my monitor.

My partner asking me about the code he's working on. This is what happens when two programmers date each other. This was more of an issue when we were both in college, but it still sometimes comes up on occasion.

My own damn thoughts and inability to focus

Meetings. All meetings. All kinds of meetings.

Depends.. in the Office? Someone watching over my shoulder like a creep.

Home office? Hot chicks walking around outside my window 😅

It’s still WFH in India. So, everything at home is a distraction. Indian households are noisy ones. Heavy traffic, loud music, constant interruptions by family members.

Appreciating the fact that I can code in my pyjamas without people judging me though.

My better half saying: "dinner is ready"

"can you please approve my PR?" yes, sure I'm happy to drop the context I built in my head, to pick up your totally different context, review your code and then rebuild my context.

I get an automated alert on slack whenever I'm requested a review on git, can't you fucking wait 20-40 mins when I'm out of the zone? Ffs.

I love my girl and working at home, but she’s the one who fucks the rhythm up.

Boss: *calls*
Hey I have something very important to talk about, but I don't have time right now. I'll call you once I'm free.

Fucking Theresa. Stop asking me if the files are transmitted. You can fucking see that. Fucking shit for brains.

In the before times of 2019, one of the guys in the office had this habit of sucking his teeth after lunch.

I can hardly describe it. Imagine making kissy sounds but with your tongue and teeth. Did this almost every day from 1-2.

Probably happened every 1-2 minutes. So just long enough to get back into the swing and boom *thick*.

I just invested in some really nice headphones eventually.

I had road repairs started under my apartment last year, during first lockdown. They lasted for 7 months

Crying toddler because I work from home.

My own thoughts...

"Hey! Can you help me with some Excel formulas?"

We're installing a new kitchen right now and basically every 2 hours I have to help carry something.

Having 36 jira ticket open and people continue to contact you on micro$oft teams =_=

keep your phone away.

and do go on twitter, it'll ruin your day (and motivation)

These goddamn fuckers who every week spam people because their CI or code is broken. Apparently it's more important than other projects. Douchenuggets send an email and CCs the whole department and all the bosses and basically says "It's all broken, the whole company needs to work on this asap, it's possibly x other person's fault".

Then when you try to troubleshoot it because bosses want it fixed, the dumb pieces of fuck made a bug in their code that they could have easily fixed if they took the time to troubleshoot themselves instead of panicking like jackasses. Or better, have good tests and actual error handling.

I swear some day I am gonna get into a fistfight I started because of this bullshit.

Unnecessary meetings and sudden last-minute changes at production....

1. Business users and their sudden issues that need immediate fixing

2. Other devs responsible for their app on the team that can't get their shit straight

Not sure, if worst coding interruptions, but these come to my mind as I'm listening to music while coding on Windows, because I kind-of have to.

1. Some shitty song coming next on the Discover Weekly on Spotify.

2. Windows freezing/slowing down randomly

3. IntelliJ freezing on Ctrl+click/Ctrl+B while I'm thinking on something complex, because our project is huge.

4. My video card driver crashing randomly at startup, so I cannot use my monitor through HDMI

Dizzy spells!

PsExec License Agreement popping up... bad news
