If you can afford a $250 light up piece of plastic nonsense to taunt and gatekeep your coworkers with, chances are you can probably spend $20 on a time management book.

this seems like an actively hostile narcissistic addition to a collaborative workplace that would get you fired in a week.

Yeah, it didn't suprise me that the only woman in all the demos was coming to interupt the BUSY dev and his Important Work. I was surprised that this is made by Flipper, though!

I've seen these kinds of things more for children/family in work-from-home than coworkers. My mom used to do it primarily with door status (is the door open or shut), but I've seen families where something brighter and more obvious is helpful.

I might use it to keep the kids out when I'm on a Zoom call in the home office. It looks fun.
