If you are peeling the potatoes and have a bit of whole-hearted potato peeling and then immediately go off "wow, I was really focused there, what Zen potato peeling!" for a minute, well, those thoughts are not Zen spirituality. It's a common problem with reading or listening to stories about whole-hearted activity - one fills up with "Zen thoughts" for a while.

Huh, so being in the zone while programming is the definition of Zen.

It is a good example of absorption when the objects and subjects drop away leaving just the action. However, as the Sutra’s say: “to encounter the absolute is not yet enlightenment.” One can argue with family in the same zone of full attention and ease of effortless action.
