I hear you but I almost feel like culturally people have an inkling that writers and musicians need flow state.

No one is expecting an NBA player to respond to texts during a game.

I think programmers bring this up because they think people aren’t aware that their flow state is a thing, too.

When you watch these reality shows built on the British Baking Show paradigm you can see how hard the contestants are often working to be polite during the mini interviews. Many are clearly thinking “get that camera out of my face and stop interrupting me, asshole!”
