When all of the dev cycle process crap is done. So maybe 2-3 hours per week, not including the "underwear programming" on the weekends.

Nothing scares a developer more than a follow up question from the other person while ordering takeout, after a very precise order.
This is why we build apps, so we don't have to deal with trauma like this! xD5 -
A former colleague of mine:
Convert.ToInt("One");
When told that this throw an error, he responded: "No, because see, it compiles".2 -
You send out an email to your client with corrections on the requirements they have sent you (you know, those crappy requirements we all get), basically explaining how their application should work. They thank you for being there for them. An hour later, you get an email from the client with questions on why the development is going so slow...
Wow. -
When even core C# implementations break some of the SOLID principles.
ReadOnlyCollection<T>, MembershipProvider, ... -

War rooms meetings are the worst kind of meetings. And it's not because everyone is there or everyone having an opinion about the problem at hand, it's because of the irony of it all.

...unless, wife is a developer as well :)1 -
At times, HR can display behaviour of a car salesman.
Me: A new initiative on my project requires additional developer added to my team. I need a senior frontend developer.
HR: We currently don't have anyone like that, but could we interest you in a junior backend developer that dabbles in HTML and JavaScript??
