Slack is the thing that interrupts me the most, we have messages coming through every few minutes and sometimes I'm mentioned in threads which never seem to end. The Slack calling feature is also really annoying because sometimes people just call instead of scheduling a time and when it happens while I'm trying to debug something complex it takes me at least an hour to get back to where I was and make more progress. I'm more productive on days when things are quiet.
Yes! Back when I was working a corporate job Slack was insane. Sometimes I would just close it and check my email/phone every couple of hours to see if something important popped in
