How about implementing that in QA as well?

I'm disappointed no one has commented that there are missing semi-colons and the equality is using == instead of ===, which would then result in a religious debate around the concept of truthy/falsy and a debate on jslint vs ESLint which would, in due course, spiral down to comments on personal hygiene and ancestry.
Sigh. When I was a lad these things were important.

I had to look that up, did not know === was a thing. Then this[^]:
JavaScript has two sets of equality operators: === and !==, and their evil twins == and !=. The good ones work the way you would expect. If the two operands are of the same type and have the same value, then === produces true and !== produces false. The evil twins do the right thing when the operands are of the same type, but if they are of different types, they attempt to coerce the values. the rules by which they do that are complicated and unmemorable.

Wait - are they saying
=== != ==
or are they saying
=== !== ==
???

They are saying one doesn't equal the other more than the other one doesn't equal the other.
And this is why JavaScript, as the winner of the Least Common Denominator Award, is a nightmare we'll all rue for years to come.

I have a work colleague who has a habit of disturbing me while I'm working. He's a great bloke in every other sense, but he will often disturb me while I'm working with non-work related conversations e.g. "Hey did you see this on the news this morning....." etc. These can occur at any time of the day, not just lunchtime.
I appreciate his friendliness, but would also appreciate being left alone to get on with my job. I don't mind the work related discussion, but I find the non-work related chat a distraction.
What's a polite way of telling them that I'm actually busy.

"I'm sorry, but I'm busy right now. I need to concentrate on ___. Let's go for a beer later."
There's no way around it. Just make sure telling you want to hear it, just not now

My method : headset + music.
|
|
|
|

Don't even need the actual music, just bang some headphones on and let the assumptions you are listening to music have their way.
Perhaps just nod a little every now an then to eliminate any creeping doubts.

I though I was the only one to do that...

This is my preferred route so far

Just pretend to zone out when they speak, like you are really focusing then say "huh... oh, sorry I was just lost in this work, what were you saying?"
A few variations of that and they will eventually get the hint.

Doesn't work. I use that all the time, but my coworkers continue to talk to me all the same

Last resort: become the office ****
Start by eating everyone's lunch, and make sure they know it was you, but can't prove it.

What used to really get to me is people who would come in - often through a deliberately closed office door - and just start talking to me, even if I was already on the phone or talking to someone else! Even telling them to "f. off" has no effect!

I've tried this too, and it does seem quite effective

Try the truth: "I'm very busy right now. Can we talk later?"

Now that could come in very handy

Works for me so far, though you have to remember to put it down somewhen so the guys don't start ignoring it.

Yes, when I was an employee of GE, they had given all the employees a big placard to hang at the desk, having the words "Imagination at Work" which was another way of telling that "I am thinking and working; leave me alone".

I worked at a place that would legit have "Do not disturb" hours for the staff. They were having issues with too many interruptions that were actually work related. So for a couple of distributed hours sets of people would have a sign up. It was to help people collect a list of questions before interrupting their supervisors instead of interrupting them every time they hit a question. Seemed to help.
