>the code pours out sometimes faster than I can write.

Meaning that you type the code faster than you would normally type prose? Or just what?

Meaning the code comes to you out of nowhere faster than you could write it down. At peak performance, there is no you in the process, you just not preventing it from happening. That's what flow state is. The more skills, the better tools you have (such as typing speed, fine tuned IDE) the longer you could stay there.
