Was bedeutet The best programs are the ones written when the programmer is supposed to be working on something else. ?
I slightly don't understand "when the programmer is supposed to be working on something else."
When do you use these "is supposed to" and "on something else" phrases and How do you use them?

I mean I want to know not literal meaning of them but meaning in this context.

I think they're trying to say that when doing something different from the program, they are able to get the best ideas for the program.
They should be (supposed to be) working on the program but when taking their mind off of it and "doing something else" that is when they were able to create the best content.

This phrase means that the programmer is most creative when he is not concentrating too intensely. Therefore, good ideas come to him because his mind is not stressed about the project he's working on. "Supposed to be" doesn't seem to fit here. The phrase should be: "The best programs are the ones written when the programmer is working on something else."

Thank you all!
The meanings I imaged seems to be the same as your answers.
I've thought this "supposed to" in the context is a little strange, too.
And I know I didn't know colocation "work on".
Anyway, thank you very much. You save me a lot!
