What Do Programmers Really Do?

Indeed. What do we do? Well I was curious.

WTF you might say. "You're a programmer! Shouldn't you know what you do?" Well yes, I know what I do. What I mean is what do programmers do while programming besides programming. I myself write the codes (duh) and hang out on Twitter and listen to podcasts, watch movies, listen to music, and sometimes I just concentrate so hard I forget to eat. I was curious to see what everybody else did while hacking; twtpoll to the rescue!

So I made a poll, and of course nobody read it, because nobody in the software community follows me (okay that's a lie, @defunkt follows me, as well as a couple friends), so I nicely asked Scott Hanselman and that fixed the problem. Overnight there were just over 500 responses. Alright, now we're in business! On to the results!
