There may be professions where being accessible at all times is more important than being able to drown out the world and concentrate, but programming is not one of them.

Communication is important too, but when you need to concentrate headphones are invaluable (unless you have a private office)

"Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of things. What I do takes long hours of studying and uninterruptible concentration." - Don Knuth
