The problem with the 15 minute rule is that you are breaking the work and concentration of the developer who didn't have a problem. Joel goes into the effects of this a bit when he talks about why programers need doors.
I'd say you should send email to all the developers in your office. That way you are breaking everyone concentration by walking into thier office and starting a conversation. If the other developers are deep in work, they can just ignore the email until later. -Adam On 8/6/05, Matt Robertson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I did that goof off/stare at the fridge thing years ago.
