That is an interesting way to describe it and makes a lot of sense. One thing that I see discussed a lot is a question of value. Engineers message each other across the day lots of times and it causes the same multitasking issues and break of concentration for "bottom of things". However, sometimes that may unblock two other engineers for several days of productive work. This is where structure matters. Having a tech lead that can handle all these interruptions is ideal but it takes someone who can balance the managing and the execution. It is also the mark of a good manager; someone who understands that their success is actually to make everyone else successful and that means shielding them from the nonsense.
