AFAICT the article is based on data collected from their suite of IDE plugins that a.o. track coding time. Based on some statistics from those, they make very broad and presumptuous conclusions on how developers are distracted from coding and what can be done about it. First off, who says their users are professional developers? Working full time? Always using the same tooling? Spend time on pair programming? Etc Then, why make the assumption that developers must be distracted? Who even says more time spent coding == more productive developers? IME the refinement of work prior to implementatuon, e g. outlining the general structure and defining data structure & algo's takes most time and prevents a lot of (coding) rework. It also reduces how much you then actually need to spend time on the implementation.
