Pomodoro for programmers

Protect coding time without losing context

Coding keeps many details in working memory. Focus blocks create a visible boundary for messages and secondary work.

Define a technical outcome

Pick a verifiable result: reproduce a bug, write a test, finish a component or inspect a query.

Batch email and chat outside coding blocks. Extend blocks to 45 or 50 minutes for complex implementation.

Will Pomodoro interrupt flow?

It can if blocks are too short. Extend them or stop at a logical boundary.

Does it work for debugging?

Yes. Test one hypothesis per block and record the result.
