This gives me PTSD to a consulting job I had as a web developer where every 15-30 minutes the project manager would come up to my desk to ask what I've been up to and what I had achieved (in the last 15 minutes). He'd also get upset when the feature I was working on wasn't finished yet since the last meeting.

I've personally witnessed the VP of product stand over our senior engineer's shoulder while he tried to debug some serious bug that we couldn't reproduce in dev/stage for hours until it was done. That same engineer also had the CEO stand over his shoulder and actually ask "You don't mind if I stand here and watch do you?" The same CEO constantly brags about his "10 years of experience building companies with successful exits"(10 years of experience vs 1 year of experience ten times), and calls his company the "Amazon of the south". Reading this article gave me flashbacks, but it does help to know that it wasn't just that company.

With an interruption every 15 minutes, sounds like you would never reach a state of flow.
