The Real Coding Time Distribution

The math checks out. That 1% of actual coding is probably just typing "console.log" or changing variable names. The other 99% is the true developer experience - an endless cycle of staring at error messages, questioning your career choices during coffee breaks, and the silent bonding ritual of group debugging where everyone looks confused together. The 5% Stack Overflow copy/paste is suspiciously low though... someone's not being honest with themselves.
