Solo founder; it tends to change rapidly depending on the stage of the product.

Probably 90% of the time writing code currently. Once the hardware product is released publicly it drops to 10% (maintenance) and then ramps up when new significant features are added.

Broadly speaking..

Stage 1: design specs 0% code

Stage 2: prototyping 50% code

Stage 3: the hard work 90% code

Stage 4: selling and maintenance 10%+

Fun y you call it the hard work. I guess you mean hard as in, more "physical" so to say. The. Doing part is the easy work and flows well. The debugging and figuring out what do to solve problems is the hard part.
The figuring out and doing are the easy part. The hard part is breaking up your work in a way so you have something for the daily standup to talk about.
