Question: I'm wondering what you do as a programmer that's not programming but necessary for your task (eg: local setup, server setup, deployment, etc). I'm curious to know how many non-programming related tasks people are performing. 

For example, when on web development projects I often:

* Install servers
* Manage user right/access to servers
* Perform backups
* Configure IIS/Apache
* Setup FTP sites

On non-web projects I often:

* Write build scripts
* Setup source code management tools/procedures
* Probably more stuff I'm not thinking of

Some tasks are more related to programming than others (such as writing build scripts) but others fall outside of my area of expertise (domain setup comes to mind). Just interested to know how many people perform tasks in their jobs that are not programming related.

Answer: 
Probably depends on the size of the company you work for. As someone who has worked mainly at small to medium sized businesses, I've also been responsible for:

database creation, management, and tuning
supporting the internal applications I launch
managing website certificates
setting up external hosting
and I'm sure there's more as well

Ha, the curse of Excel and Word.

Outside work - particularly friends and family but sometimes when consulting or delivering software too, any and all non-technical people expect you to understand these. There's that internal groan when *someone* asks you across to have a look at a small problem they're having with some facet of Office. And because it's a client and you want to appear helpful you agree.

There's just this blanket expectation that because you're a developer you have an innate knowledge of configuring spreadsheets, fixing Word templates, and any and all other office techie tasks, and furthermore you can cast your eye over some badly configured Office mess and instantly diagnose what the problem is. 

I can only just about manage to put together a spreadsheet to schedule my reoccuring invoices and set up a Word template to write them. I regularly tell people that too - but no-one ever listens.
