"During a normal day, I spend about 60% of my time writing code. The remainder of the day is spent reviewing my work, meeting with my manager, collaborating with other coders on my team, and learning new coding technologies and methodologies."

I expect that about half of my work day will involve coding and the remainder of it will be meetings with the team and manager or business SMEs, maintaining the robots already in PROD. I would also anticipate spending some time say about 5 % in doing research and exploring new processes and tasks and new possibilities in automation.
