Being inundated with notifications is not a problem with the god damned smartphone. It's a problem with you not being able to set up apps to shut the hell up if they don't have any business throwing notifications your way.

I see this argument all the time and it's completely foreign to me. I get notifications on messages, lost calls and some very specific emails regarding downtime or exceptions in production. That's it, and it works very, very well.
