Also, when I awake in the morning after spending an unproductive afternoon, sometimes I can visualize a complex answer - that happened this morning, I realized the solution to something I'm working on with a few overly-vague requirements. Sometimes I have to scribble down some notes so I don't forget it by the time I get to work.<br /><br />Definitely too many interruptions today, but I got enough clarity so I'm confident I'll crank it out tomorrow, including the curveballs thrown at me today as I attempt to be sure what they do is what I thought they do. Once I get to this point, I could work from home, but there is a comfort at the work computer, even such things as where icons are and what order things are on the task bar and how fast the server responds. I've found it takes a few days for me to get into a work-from-home zone (would be different if my work was just emails or online fora help).<br /><br />Long ago when I first became a superprogrammer, my boss would come up and start talking to me, and I would talk and continue coding. That would drive him nuts. I'm no longer a superprogrammer, doing it too much is a burnout after a few years, unless you are Tom Kyte.
