If you are...
What I am spending as much by doing calculus (or scribbling sketches and schemes, looking up things in books and papers...) as having hands on keyboard? Even brief interruption and loss of focus can easily ruin ten minutes of work. Do you only program things that do not actually require thinking? Or is everyone except me such a genius that he can keep complex mental schemes in his head -- while communicating with other people? I do not understand. Note I mostly develop scientific software (so, yes, calculus is involved regularly) as do most people around me. But they all need to focus to get anything done right.
