I tracked my coding time for a month. I only debug 2% of the time

I feel like in the last 20 years of professional programming, I spend 90% of my time fighting with frameworks the most. Something not working? Spend two days figuring out why. Now days I would rather write an entire form/multi-part parser that works specifically with my use-case instead of fighting another dependency that has API changes all the time.

Maybe with AI we're going to be at a point where all the libraries are locally developed - no need to use someone's framework or library when everything can just be described and code emitted.

Goodbye npm, maven, pip, go mods

I’m testing and debugging while I’m creating. These aren’t distinct actions, I’m not sure how the time could be broken down like this in any meaningful way.
