I am fine with that, just not immediately that second.

And do you enable Slack notifications? I don't. I just look for the glow of the icon.

I do, though it’s not just that, it’s also the read and typing notifications and stuff I don’t like. Disabling it would make it more tolerable though.

However, there really are things I want someone to have the ability to notify immediately for. Narrow time slots on in demand hardware like prototypes or FPGAs, change of team location in a lunch room or a big lab, and drop what you’re doing and debug this when it makes sense.

Maybe I just don’t focus as deep as others.
