>Yes, stopping what I am already working on in order to answer your question will kill my productivity by a lot in order to help your productivity only a little.

And yet AGAIN my initial post is misconstrued completely and entirely because people I guess just don't know how to read today.

I am not the person interrupting my coworkers. I am the one being interrupted and asked to help a junior dev. Read my darn post. Read it. READ IT. I am not interrupting my coworkers. I am a senior dev being asked for help. I am the one being interrupted. I am being asked to assist someone. Stop accusing me of breaking my coworkers flow. That is not what I said. That is not what I offered. That was not my post. That was not the position I argued. Those were not my words.

It's actually getting VERY frustrating having responses levied at me as if I am the person disrupting my coworkers, and not the person who is having his own workflow and concentration broken, and repeatedly having responses thrown at me as if I am the root cause of my coworkers not being productive.

You talked about your propensity to answer people right there in the midst of the open space, thus contributing to the noise. I’m discussing how a side-effect of that would be to distract many other people, and then also discussing the general problem of these interruptive questions (even though I understand your line of comments was about how you will answer questions, and it was misinterpreted in other threads).

The portion you quoted does not use the word “you” to specifically refer to you personally, but to the general phenomenon of either being interrupted when someone asks a question or being disrupted when people loudly discuss an answer to the question right where everyone is trying to work, instead of moving to a separate common area like the cafeteria or a conference room, or scheduling a meeting to go over it later when it won’t disrupt people.
