>why software developers need to be left undisturbed

I've tried explaining this to manager and business type of people. I've even shown them articles and papers about this topic. All I've ever gotten is mocking and scoffs about how we aren't special snowflakes and how every job requires thinking and concentration. Maybe they are right. I've never been a manager or business person. But it seems to me they spend an awful lot more time talking and creating powerpoints than they do thinking.

As far as I can tell, that's how they do their thinking!
