I am currently working on a project with a team of 5. I like working at night. After committing my code, I sleep at 6. My team on waking up decides to change the UI and I have to start over again. The irony is: None of them are working with me on the frontend! Feels like I am stuck on a while(true) loop.

bool hasJob() {
return hasTask();
}

bool hasTask() {
return !tasks.size.isEmpty();
}

In this setup, would you add loop method or not?
void loop() {
while(true) {
tasks.add(task);
}
}

Just break; out of it

Wait what? Why are they making you refactor I presume you aren't doing UI, so backend. Their UI should be independent.

Tell them to give their requirements 1 day in advance and you go take the day off, that way by the end of it they will have to specify what work is required.

I have never had to deal with this issue, because I use GraphQL, but it's possible to have a decoupled UI without it.
