I'll take a look from both sides. But let me first explain the motivation and drives for some people to push them what they do, why they do etc. We all have secret reward mechanism which triggers our dopamine receptors. Time to time randomly or intentionally we create those circuits in our brain. For example, for some people, it's really important to talk about baseball teams some likes football. That's being said, we need to be in the flow also to self-transcendence (remember Maslow's pyramid last step ;) Some people their motivations are not clear and they find themselves very in the middle of everything and it can be more then one specific skill like the guy's example in the blog post, he likes tracking, drawing, spending time with family etc. After having a motivation towards one subject for long time you develop flow and being in the zone for this occupation that's why managers tend to see person with enthusiasm for coding and being in front of computers all the time. It's exactly how it supposed to be! I recommend being stoic about it.
