When I&#x27;m onsite with my team, it&#x27;s so enjoyable because we can laugh and joke and mull over problems together. It&#x27;s got a real sort of in the trenches feel to it. It&#x27;s hard for me to think of those distractions as negative.<p>I think that the interruptions thing is definitely true, but the things that interrupt us are our devices, not our people. You can tell a colleague that you&#x27;ve got to get more uninterrupted time, but your device continually beckons.<p>Another thing that interrupts me is slow system access. I&#x27;m trying to develop on a test database that&#x27;s abhorrently slow. Each time I&#x27;m forced to wait, I quickly pick up my phone, or load up a Hacker News tab.
