Ask HN: Developers, what percentage of your time do you spend building features?
I've been a software developer for about four years, at three different companies, and I've found it surprisingly difficult to find a job where I spend most of my time actually going through tickets, building features and fixing bugs. My day-to-day tends to get bogged down in meetings, navigating tech debt, researching stuff we're not ready for yet but planning on doing sometime in the future, and talking about business goals and career moves. I just want to spend most of my time (I repeat, MOST, no job is perfect) writing chunks of Node/React code, testing them, and watching them work. Was I naive in hoping for this idealized version of software development? Can anyone recommend an organization that lives up to this ideal?
