If what they meant, then they’re not saying anything meaningful. Anyone working full time as a software engineer who isn’t slacking off to an unimaginable extent is spending 10-15 hours writing code in the course of a week.
- Shish2k 8y agoFor software engineering positions I'd expect you're right - for my own role (production engineering) it's a meaningful metric as we're often hiring sysadmins who have used their coding skills to automate themselves out of a job, while filtering out the sysadmins who have only ever used off-the-shelf tools without looking under the hood :)
