Somehow the post seemed to miss the amount of time I seem to spend on "busy work" in coding. Not meetings and that sort of thing, but just boring, repetitive, non-thinking coding. Stubbing in a routine is fast, but then adding param checking, propagating errors, clean up, adding comments, refactoring sections of code into their own files as the code balloons, etc. There's no thinking involved in most of the time I am coding. And thank god. If 11/12 of my time was spent twisting my brain into knots to understand the nuances of concurrency or thread-locking I would have lost my hair decades earlier.
