?? "Just a Quick Question!" - Every Dynamics 365 Developer's Favorite Phrase... Not. ??

In the world of CRM, where "real-time" data is king and Dynamics 365 notifications are the modern-day equivalent of a tap on the shoulder, there's a silent plea from developers everywhere: "Can I just get a moment of peace?"

?? The Dynamics 365 Developer's Brain: A Delicate Ecosystem You might think that with all those forms, workflows, and (let's be honest) that sneaky workaround they found on a forum at 3 AM, D365 developers are juggling masters. But here's the secret: coding in Dynamics is like trying to build a LEGO masterpiece while someone keeps flicking the lights on and off. One misstep, and it's back to square one!

? The 23-Minute "Got a Sec?" Research suggests it can take up to 23 minutes for a developer to refocus after an interruption. So, that "quick chat" about whether to use a canvas app or model-driven? It's a 23-minute rabbit hole. Hope it was enlightening!

?? Productivity and the Phantom Pings Every time a Teams message pops up with "Got a sec?", a Dynamics 365 developer loses a plugin. Okay, maybe not, but the essence is there. It's not just the ping's time, but the deep sigh and the longing glance at the "Do Not Disturb" button.

?? The Dynamics of Not Being "That" Colleague

  1. Respect the 'Do Not Disturb': It's not just a status. It's a developer's silent scream for focus.
  2. Batch Questions: Instead of peppering them with questions throughout the day, compile a list. They'll love you for it.
  3. Schedule Calls: Impromptu calls are like unexpected plugin errors. Nobody likes them. Plan ahead.

In conclusion, while Dynamics 365 is a marvel (on most days), let's ensure our communication is as streamlined as our data flows. Remember, every unnecessary ping might just be delaying that next game-changing customization. Let's code in harmony!

Good point, Igor. There are a lot time-wasters that are never properly costed. I wonder how these invisible costs might be better captured. One cost factor that seems to be missing when governments and other large organizations design online service delivery platforms is the time it takes the public-facing client to complete their online forms. What once took 15 minutes to complete on paper by hand can now take several hours online -- I'm thinking of immigration forms in particular. There has to be more thought given to the real costs of developing systems from the simple quick question to those few extra fields in a form that seem innocuous and cost-free.
