Think developers spend all day writing code? Think again.

A recent study from Software.com reveals that developers actively code for just 52 minutes per day—about 4 hours and 21 minutes per week

In this episode, I break down 2 actual assignments I've been given at both a small startup and a large company to illustrate the reality of work as a software developer.

It's not all coffee breaks and big bags but I think it's interesting work. Maybe you will too.
