This is an invalid generalization.

The author assumes his experience applies to all software development.

It really grates on me when people feel they know the only way to do software development and say you're doing it wrong unless it's their way.

The post might have been more effective had it been worded as an expression of his own personal experience and personal journey instead of telling the reader how to do it.

I work like that, ergo, everyone is the same as me.

Disagree with the generalization. Software engineers need more uninterrupted time. If they need to reach out, let them do it. Otherwise, stop asking for status meetings every 2 hours.
