What we really needed here was a way to vote the top three activities were upto in order.
For me its:
1. Coding (about 60%) 
2. Reasearch (about 20%)
3. Customer support (10%) 
4. Other (10%)

I've been thinking about modifying the survey to allow, say, 3 votes on multiple choice options.
But then I've also been thinking about getting sleep one of these days.

By now it seems everyone is coding and no one is involved in meetings... Seems like real world: Programmers have to clean up the mess others made. Or have you ever had to programm something by a description made by someone who knew what he was talking about?

I have to attend meetings... some productive, some not. But it does not take up the majority of my time. I've never spent more than 10 hours in a week in meetings (and that is a lot, it's typically around 5.)
My guess is that many programmers are in the same boat here. Management types tend to spend a lot more time in meetings, though, it seems.

I spend about 70% of my time in research which gives me ideas to implement in the 30% of time i spend coding. I can't imagine writing code without reading a good technical article first.

A couple years ago, the answer would have been "coding", easily. But now, it's more research/design (but just barely) than coding. I guess as you get older and more experienced, people actually start respecting you a little more instead of thinking of you as a "code monkey".

I find myself thinking about coding the "object" 90% and then quickly (without style and culture) code it in the remainder. I call it ZEC (Zero Effort Coding).

I realized I actually spend most of my time coding...
I should be doing something far less productive! Oh wait, that's what CP is for right?

Well, sure I spend countless hours surfing, posting and stuff on CP, but I've actually got some work out of it too.
Cheers,

Any chance we will ever see some of it?

I don't know about you, but surfing Code Project is one of the more productive parts of my day.
