Why is this link different in a misleading way from the actual title of the blog post? Doesn't HN usually avoid that?

Thanks, but I was asking more about this piece in particular - what does it add? It's presented like it's a research piece but as far as I can tell it's just the author's thoughts on how it feels to be interrupted written up as if there was research done.

Is there any research, any numbers, anything quantifiable to indicate that this is more than an opinion piece?

that was my first thought too. we developers sometimes get so caught up in development weforget there's a whole world of other tools.

FWIW, i think it's terrible. There's a few really excellent pieces of writing sprinkled throughout it, but the whole thing felt hollow and self-indulgent to me.

Norving missed an excellent chance to title this paper "The structure and interpretation of science experiments"
