Start refusing meetings. Block parts of your day out to do useful work. Manage your time or others will just keep eating away at it.

Quick reminder that this is happening in 6 hours!
The votes are in! Tomorrow's Crust of Rust on Iterators and trait bounds in @rustlang will happen at 8:30pm UTC (everytimezone.com/s/c5814c1f), just like the past few streams. Come one, come all!

Some people are instant-feedback junkies. If they don't get the info they want, they leave again immediately. I see this on IRC channels, Discord servers, even mailing lists. It's crazy.

Missing cask ale? We're trying to gauge interest in opening the Vic for takeaway only, with careful social distancing and hygiene measures. Interested? Disinterested? Ideas? Questions? Let me know. @SSMCAMRA any input?

If your marketing dept. or whatever determines that these things are of value to some, then I understand having them, but for goodness sake allow those of us they annoy to opt out of them. A tickybox set in the app for "Only notify me for: ..." would be ideal.

They're pointless, do not give me any information I did not already have, and interrupt my day. If they said "Received XXX from YYY" then they'd be useful (oh wait, you already have those, which make this contentless notifications redundant as well as awful).
Dear @monzo
Why do I keep having "Your money is waiting for you - open Monzo to get it now!" notifications -- I know where my money is, and I really don't appreciate these pointless "chummy" notifications drawing my attention away from my work.

Remember the border down the Irish Sea that was Project Fear? Or the lack of people to pick our fruit and vegetables that was Project Fear? Or the lowering of food standards to get a US deal that was Project Fear?
Are you beginning to get the message?

They are surprisingly good. Yes if you put it too loud there's sometimes an odd buzzing against your temples, but several months into owning mine and I've basically stopped using other headphones, even around the house.

So long as it's not too magic, one problem I had with my small amount of go hacking was realising where things were and what was going on. The casewise pub/priv stuff was one of the things which really hurt my brain.
