Well, I'm a very ordinary work-from-home developer who simultaneously

  * attends video conferences
  * types short messages on slack
  * runs git commit && git push, which triggers a real-time pipeline
    reporting to me
  * runs goconvey, a robot that runs go test on every save. Only
    locally, though.
  * compiles stuff
  * runs the compiled program in a record-replay service that pulls
    docker images madly from work

Most people I work with at some time end up cursing at the 
videoconference service, as doing anything else during a conference 
causes hangs and dropouts.

So you might not be /that/ different (;-))
