Why the Pomodoro Method SUCKS for Programmers and what you should do instead for coding productivity

Just a silly video about why the Pomodoro Method totally sucks for programmers.

Going point concerning getting into flow. But as devs we don't get enough physical activity and pomodoro health with making sure I get moving and don't stay sitting continuously. I do 50min-10min of 120min-10min and no fuss if in flow don't take the break and just keep going.

hello, what do you think about some similar technqiues like for example seting a 90 minutes time instead of 25. In this way we do not get distracted so often but it may help to organize time. Ofc this 90 minutes is bot obligatory because sometimes we could need to stay extra 10 minutes ti finish task we are focused on.

I always had the EXACT same thought about the promodoro technique
even for regular stuff like studying especially,
you spend that 5 minutes of break going through instagram / facebook and it fucks with your productivity

Im probably going to make a video like this similar to yours but hopefully adding some struggles i personally have with getting "into the flow state"

Overall great video and im glad someone else is also talking about this!
