Ask HN: How much of your day is spent writing code?
I know this probably varies a lot depending on type of company/position in company, but I'm curious. How much time do you spend thinking about/writing/debugging code? How much time do you spend wrestling with server configuration/makefiles/other roadblocks? Do you find it varies a lot company to company?<p>I ask because in the one internship at a 'real' company I've done I felt like I spent surprisingly little time actually working with code, and am finding the same with 2 (sort-of) research projects I'm doing this semester.
