Writing code or typing in code? If the former I believe developers spend amount of time significantly different from zero.


It isn't about the time spent typing. It's about that time in relation to the totality of the job. The fact that coding time isn't zero means nothing.

Depending on project type a team can easily spend 10x more time doing things other than actually typing code. In fact, they should spend 10x more time doing those things, for example, architecture, design, documentation, testing, etc.
