It is usually only talked about in context of programming, it is implicit.
I'm guessing you are only in programming communities, I've seen it talked about in plenty of circles outside of programming

I’m an old comp sci grad. There was a concept we learned in my operating systems class called a context switch.
So basically, a context switch is when an operating system pauses one running process or thread, saves its state, and loads the saved state of another so the CPU can execute it. This makes multitasking possible by letting multiple processes share a single CPU while each later resumes exactly where it left off.
I would kill for this feature in real life.
the way I think of it is that we do it all the time but its much, much more costly for us humans than for computers

I’m a card carrying medicated ADHD adult. I have this printed and on my door at work. Yesterday at one point I had a queue of people at my office door. The irony of why I didn’t get a lot done yesterday was lost on most people.
I feel you. I'm fearful of being so open about my diagnosis though. These days I "wear so many hats" for my job. Unfortunately I have to be support for a number of related systems, script automations, and a tons of other stuff. Recently I've felt like this last project has taken forever and I've been hard on myself because of it.
Only in the last week or so did I realize that I'm writing scripts far more complex than ever before and I don't get into a flow state until everyone else goes home but then it's time for me to go home. Half of my normal work time is trying to get back into the mindset I need to continue building the project. Then I have to focus on different project for a few days and WTF was I doing with that first project?

Yeah totally. I’m most productive in the super early morning before anyone gets there, like 6-9am. Or in the late evening after everyone has gone home. But the wife is like why are you still at work. When I get in the zone I get total time blindness. What felt like 15 minutes was more like 4 hours.

In programmer humour? Hm.

Yeah there's been a lot of engagement on /r/vibebricklaying lately
