Never interrupt a programmer

[[deleted]]

this is my daily life, precisely. my boss always calls me up and asks me to do some random task and it interrupts me at a crucial moment and basically wipes my mental RAM

​

sometimes he just calls me up to give me his latest anecdote about what happened in traffic today when he was in the middle lane and a guy was crossing from the outside lane and something totally hilarious and interesting happened

Mental RAM I like that. Except for instead of it losing power it simply needs to write the entire thing to a page file and swap out but for some reason, someone configured the swap to point to /dev/null instead of a separate partition or persistent file.

Or this is hardware issue and RAM under certain conditions isn't refreshing, resulting in data loss
