My best coding sprees were done by retiring to my place and stop communicating with the rest of the company.<p>I mean, if you have a crystal clear set goal, and a very very tight deadline, you don&#x27;t need to be in anyway, all you&#x27;ll get is distraction, unwanted interest and questions, &#x27;status reports&#x27; that only waste time and so on.<p>Much better to isolate yourself and crack on with it...
