We are looking at the specific mechanics of context switching and how it quietly destroys engineering velocity. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down why the average developer loses nearly two hours a day to fragmented attention, citing recent studies on cognitive load in high-stakes environments. We explore the difference between deep work and shallow work, and why simply reducing meetings isn't enough if your tooling forces constant interruptions. This is a practical look at how modern software teams can reclaim focus without sacrificing collaboration.
