What? This is what developers hate the most. Leave me be, and I'll update you when there's something to update. A gentle slack nudge "remember to update trello/jira/post here/whatever" is fine since I can do that whatever.
If you call me with "hey, how's it going" while I'm in the zone and holding 7 things in my mind, you've just ruined my day and wasted at least an hour of my time.
