At first I thought this was serious, but I'm not sure now. Surprising that a couple of responses to the grandparent say that programming doesn't require deep focus!

Trust me, it was surprising experiencing it too!

It would be nice if those pesky humans could somehow be re-programmed to behave more like the nodes/cogs that they truly are instead of being mere... free-spirited individuals. Then our ideal of the pair-programming, cluster-based corporation would become reality, comrade.

Why stop at pairs? Clustered collective consciousness is the clearly the future of programming. ;)
Concentrating deeply means you're keeping too much state in your head. Write more tests instead. If it's still a problem, bring a co-worker over, or better yet, pair program. It's not the 1980s anymore, this industry is not for solitary special-snowflake hackers. You're a part of a team -- like a node in a cluster -- and the team's productivity is what matters.
