As a Software developer, can you mention your YoE and how much time you spend coding (writing new code)?
I will go first I have 5 YoE . I have not written new code since many weeks. Usually i have been working on fixing issues. This is the reason i want to know how much time people spend on writing new code .

7 yoe, 3hrs daily writing new code, 2hrs fixing, reviews, docs etc. Working in a startup.
5+ YOE, write new code everyday. A few weeks ago, I was also in the fixing issues stage. It comes and goes in phases as the system grows.
2+ YOE, moved to a us startup few months back and now I write a lot of Go here. I probably spend around 4-5 hours everyday writing code and I’m glad that the time spent is fairly divided across writing features, fixing bugs and writing solid unit tests for them.
Can u name company? That’s a good balance
9+ yoe Spend barely 2h coding
I need to get back to my 2yoe self. I was pushing out features in days not weeks then.
2+, My Github profile has never been more greener.
I mean it depends. If the priority is stabilising existing system, you’ll be fixing bugs and improving upon existing codebase.
If the focus is on new features or new product line, you’ll be writing a lot of fresh code. And reusing stuff from stable systems.
1.5 years. I write fairly good amount of code weekly. Some days I solve bugs but write new code most of the time. On an average i spend 3-4 hours daily writing new code.
