How much time do developers spend actually writing code?
Blog post from Sonar
In a recent survey, developers reported spending less than one-third of their time writing new code or improving existing code, with 32% invested in managing and maintaining code. This finding highlights the significant amount of time spent on tasks such as testing, security, and responding to issues, leaving little room for innovation and improvement. The data also reveals that organizations with over 500 developers spend a substantial percentage of their time on maintenance activities, making it clear that there is an opportunity for companies to increase developer efficiency by offloading maintenance responsibilities to project creators or implementing managed open source approaches.
