Developers only code for one hour a day on average, according to Amazon Web Services

by | Dec 9, 2024 | E-commerce News

According to Amazon Web Services: “Today, developers report they spend an average of just one hour per day coding. They spend most of their time on tedious, undifferentiated tasks such as learning codebases, writing and reviewing documentation, testing, managing deployments, troubleshooting issues or finding and fixing vulnerabilities.”

I can definitely relate to that one! Sometimes writing the actual code is the easy / quick part. It's like that old story about the electrician who charged $2,000 for a minute of his time. With coding, it's all the work that goes into knowing what to write for that hour.
