> How many hours per week do you estimate developers at your company waste on maintenance (i.e. dealing with bad code / errors, debugging, refactoring, modifying)? 17.3 hours

How is this tracked? Looks like it's just a survey of opinions. From my data I see the median time spent in IDE at 11 hours so 17 hours spent on refactoring must be a lot of non-coding tasks.
