Agree 100%. Spending 30% of my time coding is just self-indulgent. My team knows I can code, knows I understand their work, and they need me to do the crap they can't afford to deal with, so they can focus on coding. Also, I'm way to unreliable as a coder because my work can be interrupted at any time. Time blocking a few hours doesn't work, because being a developer is not just writing code for a few hours. If I want to code in production, I have to participate in code reviews, handle pull request, take part in ad hoc discussions. Otherwise I'm just a tourist getting in the way. If I want to code as a hobby, I should just do it in my own time.
