Fragmented days ship fragmented software
Engineering output depends on long uninterrupted blocks, and most engineering days don't have any. Standups, pings, and "quick calls" slice the day into twenty-minute fragments; velocity charts show the slowdown but not the cause. Worse, generic monitoring insults engineers — a terminal, a local VM, or Stack Overflow reads as "browsing" to a tool that doesn't understand the work, and the team rejects it on day one.
