How much of your work day is spent coding?
I've been thinking about software estimation lately, and I have a bunch of questions around time spent coding. I'm curious to hear from people who have had at least a couple years of experience developing software.

When you have to estimate the amount of time you'll spend working on something, how many hours of the day do you spend coding? What occupies the other non-coding hours?

Do you find you spend more or less hours than your teammates coding? Do you feel like you're getting more or less work done than they are?

What are your work conditions like? Private office, shared office, team room? Coding alone or as a pair? How has your working condition changed the amount of time you spend coding each day? If you can work from home, does that help or hurt your productivity?

What development methodology do you use? Waterfall? Agile? Has changing from one methodology to another had an impact on your coding hours per day?

Most importantly: Are you happy with your productivity? If not, what single change would you make that would have the most impact on it?
