Feel free to tell about what your day looks like. I'm exploring different positions so it'd be very valuable to me. I've already done a few courses in C# and Python, they seem to be quite common. My goal here is to get to know this role better, for now I have limited information about it. Is it rather repetitive, or is there always something new to do? What part of it do you enjoy the most and the least? Is it true that many desktop apps are really webapps?

Sounds like my position. I maybe write code a more than 10% of the time; maybe close to 40% these days. But code is definitely the least interesting thing I do anyway; solving the puzzle is the fun part. Coding is just following the plan most of the time.
