I don't know. Even since I was a student developer for companies there were always at least three topics at any given focus that needed at least some share of my attention. PG's suggested stretches of time where I could just do one thing are very small and very small to realise. In a great world one would have such a schedule, but if you don't code alone you will always be interrupted. At least that's my experience up to now.

It really depends on where you work. I worked one place where communication was biased heavily in favor of e-mail, with the understanding that it was less intrusive than other forms of communication. There was not exactly a ban on interrupting developers, but there was a culture against it (and there were things that were explicitly always okay to interrupt a developer for; e.g. a bug found by a customer).
