They used to make fun of me because if I was writing code and they came up to ask me a question, I would miss the first 10 seconds of whatever they were saying until my brain could perform the "unload" you're talking about.<BR/><BR/>It became a running joke that whenever they saw code on my screen, they'd say may name, wait until I looked at them, count to 10-Mississippi and then start talking.El-Heatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443430911384768139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25340877.post-50636145719884876802008-12-09T18:21:00.000-07:002008-12-09T18:21:00.000-07:00@Mike Murray:I know, I've mentioned it to people a...@Mike Murray:<BR/><BR/>I know, I've mentioned it to people a few times and they all just laugh.<BR/><BR/>Have you seen the FogCreek offices?

Let me know if you come across a company that does that.<BR/><BR/>It seems like it would almost have to be a small start-up or something, where they have the luxury of renting office space with a lot of small rooms with doors and not very many people to fill them yet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990150469958605173noreply@blogger.com
