This is messing with my head. I love Spinoza and Kafka and couldn't imagine them as anything else but being full-time thinkers and writers.

Who told you they weren't? Are you only a programmer or a thinker about programming while at keys?
i think by full time they meant sitting around in some dingy room, smoking cigarettes and positing/thinking rather than filling most of their days with other activities that have nothing to do with this craft (and i would say to posit well, you need life experiences and they did exactly what they needed to do to become legendary)
'Another county heard from.'
Thanks for dropping by. No need to hurry back.
Thanks for that substantive contribution.
Personally, the line between 'administrator in an insurance company' and Kafka's works fits neatly within my mental model of the world.
Which makes me wonder what he called the kind of experience a person has when dealing with an insurance company: the word "Kafkaesque" didn't exist yet.
"Inspiration", perhaps.
