(Disclaimer: I'm building up material for https://whyarentyoucoding.com/)

I'd love to know, from developers who are being paid to write code, what it is that's stopping you from coding (apart from the obvious, that you're busy browsing HN!).

There's always more reading/planning than typing. Maybe that's part of coding?

Because in a sense I'm being paid not to write code. Company put me on furlough due to budget problems, but are paying the remaining 20% of my salary, so I'm basically being paid my full wage to not work.
