Of course the meeting is part of the work, I hope I didn't suggest otherwise! I can only speak from my experience working 80% time in several different jobs, in nonprofit/academic environments. As above. (I enjoy writing code, if writing code was "barely" part of the work I wouldn't still be here. It seems like it would be impossible to get anyone who was good at writing code in a development/engineering job where coding was barely part of the work! But I'm not sure what this has to do with the feasibility of less than full time work as an engineer/developer).
