Citation needed. Are most developers "rarely" writing code?
- dboreham 7mo agoIn my direct experience this is mostly true.
- thrawa8387336 7mo agoAnd was true before AI
- jcranmer 7mo agoI'd expect that probably less than 10% of my time is spent actually writing code, and not because of AI, but because enough of it is spent analyzing failures, reading documents, participating in meetings, putting together presentations, answering questions, reading code, etc. And even when I have a nice, uninterrupted coding session, I still spend a decent fraction of that time thinking through the design of how I want the change rather than actually writing the code to effect that change.
- j3k3 7mo agoNailed it. The design part is hard because you have to envision the object. Once you have a good idea and conceptialisation of the object, form is easy.
- habinero 7mo agoYeah, actually writing code is a surprisingly small part of the job.
