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

Pretty much the default. The hard part is not the chaos itself, it is that most planning still assumes engineers will get long, clean focus blocks every day. In reality, PRs, bugs, meetings, and teammate questions are part of the job, so teams need to leave room for them instead of treating them like interruptions.

Exactly. That “interruption” label is the problem.
