Workgraph: personal focus vs. interruption for engineers at Meta
Abstract
All engineers dislike interruptions because it takes away from the deep focus time needed to write complex code. Our goal is to reduce unnecessary interruptions at . We first describe our Workgraph platform that logs how engineers use our internal work tools at . Using these anonymized logs, we create sessions. sessions are defined in opposition to interruption and are the amount of time until the engineer is interrupted by, for example, a work chat message.
