> long periods of uninterrupted concentration is exactly when the vast majority of productive work is performed in any given software project.
That's only true in some projects, and perhaps not even the majority.
It seems like a very developer-centric perspective. But there are a lot of projects where the real value comes not from the actual programming, but in how everything is tied together, in the prioritizing, in consistency, in common understanding, with continuous improvements that deliver what's actually needed. The programming may be relatively trivial, but good management and teamwork is highly complex, and you need smart employees who are all able to see the big picture and keep on top of it.
This is a very common scenario (more common, in my experience), and whether you're local or remote makes a huge difference.
