The idea that developers (or designers, or writers) are especially sensitive to interruption is asinine.

Everybody (in software companies at least) has times when they are focused or thinking deeply, and the cost of an interruption is potentially high.

So foster a culture that is respectful of other peoples time. (advice I need to remember myself some days 😬)

@stephen I find it also difficult to find a technique to voice something without it getting immediate attention, even if not necessary. Everything blinks and produces a badge AND an email.

Sometimes I wish that physical inboxes would still be used.

I use email for that. But of course this only works if people keep all their tooling from sending emails for everything.
