Clearly, he has no idea how focussed an attention you need in order to do the job properly, and how external distractions can wreck your complex train of thought... On the other hand, if that reduces the number of ads I get targeted at me, it's a bonus! :-D

No profile data, and only that 1 blog entry... I suppose he is new. Good start :doh: :rolleyes: :-D
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Good news: our survey got some views from "normal" people (see here[^]. Bad news: this is what they concluded from the survey: Developers Are Distracted Developers working from home in the COVID-19 crisis are facing more distractions than ever— from the pantry to family. Keep this in mind when offering advertising and content to developers. Their already fragmented attention is juggling new and different distractions.

One screen and 'what day is it?' are definitely a problem for me. No real interaction with people is also up there. You may have noticed that I've only been posting on here from two weeks ago!!! This has become my 'virtual having a chat in the kitchen'. Oh yeah! And having to remote in to a Windows PC from my Macbook has it's keyboard challenges.

Yep! Too right. Working, being paid and (at the moment) still healthy. No more bitching from me.

Damn, you're really not good at it. I can still find plenty to bitch about.

That may be true for some developers, just as it may be for many other people not used to working at home. It is emphatically not true for me. I can be much more focussed and productive when I am at home than when I am in the office. I get a faster and more reliable Internet connection at home than in the office under the new company IT regime. I also get better tea, a better chair and a better office space. Working at home has been my default for quite a long time.

Not married, no children, right?

Married, 3 children, 4 grandchildren. Only SWMBO is left at home and mostly she leaves me in peace while I'm working. I know I am extremely fortunate compared to many people forced unwillingly to work at home and I don't mean to belittle their difficulties, just to point out that it's not the same for everyone.

I somehow missed that survey. Otherwise I would have added that I'm missing my 1m by 2m office desk with nothing but legroom underneath. Here at home I'm rather constrained with my 30y old computer desk with a board underneath where my legs should go (I remember I used to have my printer there - that saved me a lot of room on top of the desk, although it didn't help my knees either). I keep hitting my shins on it. X| As far as distractions go, I don't see much of a difference to the office. I expected that to be the greatest challenge but it really isn't. If anything, my spouse is making me work harder, not less. :^)
