Sure, it's still an interruption, but I don't think it's completely derailing. That's why I compared it to stopping by someone's desk. It still requires both parties to be responsible and aware.

Stopping by someone's desk is derailing, FWIW. I frequently find myself losing 30+ minutes before getting flow back from a 2 minute interruption.

One interruption an hour is enough to result in me not being able to get anything done for the whole day...

Actually, I'm starting to think I lost ability to concentrate because of that.

You've clearly not got a clue how a software engineer works if you think its not derailing.
