Question

Fahri Eskici · Accepted Answer

In my experience, it's typically not more than 4-5 hours unless absolutely necessary. Writing more code often leads to more bugs to fix the next day haha

Developers spend roughly 50% to 70% of their time writing code. The rest of their time is typically spent on tasks such as debugging, testing, code reviews, meetings, and other project-related activities. It's important to note that these numbers are rough estimates and can vary significantly based on the specific circumstances of each developer and project.
