Knowing when someone can be bothered when working from home is hard, so I created an automated way to clearly show those lovely housemates of yours that it’s fine to interrupt, or to please wait for a little while. I understand the problem. Show me the setup! Remember the video of the guy getting interviewed…

Fun fact: the First Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise opened in Utah in 1952. Not-so-fun fact: Colonel Sanders’ first name is apparently Harland which is the 2nd most Southern name.

I don’t want to oversell it but it’s the first thing I’ve picked up from a book that I’m still thinking about almost hourly even 3 months after completing the book.
