Do you think you’re an exception, or is every developer’s day this chaotic?

I keep telling myself, Tomorrow I ll finally get uninterrupted focus time.

Tomorrow arrives

and it s another day of PRs, bugs, meetings, helping teammates, and context switching.

Is this just me, or is this the default experience for most software engineers?

I think we software developers massively underestimate how much unplanned work we do every sprint

Almost everyday starts with a rough idea of what we're going to get done.
Then reality happens.

  • Standup changes priorities.

  • Someone Slacks you for help.

  • A production issue pops up.

  • A PR review takes longer than expected.

  • You discover the ticket is twice as complicated as you thought.

By the end of the day, you realize you spent hours on things you never planned to do.
I'm starting to think developer productivity isn't about executing the perfect plan.
It's about understanding why the plan changed.

  • Was it legitimate interruptions?

  • Poor estimation?

  • Context switching?

  • Helping teammates?

  • Urgent work?
