This just makes me sad that windows stealing focus, grabbing a randomly typed space bar, and submitting themselves before you can even read them is still a thing.
One of my favorite things about OSX is the fact that applications rarely / never are allowed to steal focus.
Clearly it needs the following 3 things: 1. It needs a fake calendar that is randomly populated with meetings. 2. It needs to randomly require that you open Google Hangouts and chat with other users. 3. It needs to send random Slack notifications.
While we're on this, can everyone please post their favorite ridiculous meeting title that is really real? I'll start with a recurring meeting series from last year that was called "mid-sprint calibration".

One thing that still happens to me on an infrequent but regular basis is clicking on something I didn't intend because something popped up under my cursor.

Plug in a phone and a popup steals focus. Some photo thing.

I love the "busywork" aspect of this game. You work like a drone, doing simple tasks with no intelligence whatsoever. This must be what most people working on a desk must feel like (not sure people on HN can relate to this). It's also a reflection on modern gaming in general. If only some games had busywork as part of their gameplay, they'd feel less tiring and more fun.
>> If only some games had busywork as part of their gameplay, they'd feel less tiring and more fun. Is this a joke? A huge number of games have mindless busywork as part of the play. Whole genre's are based on it. You're trying to achieve/build/win/unlock X?
