In my experience, For a junior/entry level, 80%+
For a (actual, not just title) Sr. dev? Typically <= 20-25%.
- nradov 3y agoThere's no way that even juniors are spending as much as 80% of time actually writing code. They spend >20% attending meetings, completing mandatory training, reading user stories, participating in code reviews, waiting for test execution, etc.
- ska 3y agoThat's highly dependent on scale of org, but fair enough. Sometimes it's closer to 60. And sometimes your seniors are only seeing 10-15, for the same reason.
- didntknowya 3y agoidk it'll closer to 60% coding, of which >50% would be looking thing up rather than actually writing anything
