title: How much of your work day is spent coding?
body: <p>I've been thinking about software estimation lately, and I have a bunch of questions around time spent coding. I'm curious to hear from people who have had at least a couple years of experience developing software.</p>
  
  <p>When you have to estimate the amount of time you'll spend working on something, how many hours of the day do you spend coding? What occupies the other non-coding hours?</p>
  
  <p>Do you find you spend more or less hours than your teammates coding? Do you feel like you're getting more or less work done than they are?</p>
  
  <p>What are your work conditions like? Private office, shared office, team room? Coding alone or as a pair? How has your working condition changed the amount of time you spend coding each day? If you can work from home, does that help or hurt your productivity?</p>
  
  <p>What development methodology do you use? Waterfall? Agile? Has changing from one methodology to another had an impact on your coding hours per day?</p>
  
  <p>Most importantly: Are you happy with your productivity? If not, what single change would you make that would have the most impact on it?</p>
