A study revealed that 9.5% of programmers are hardly productive at all.

Researchers from Stanford University have developed a model that quantitatively assessed the productivity of over 50,000 software developers from hundreds of major IT companies by analyzing source code from private Git repositories.

It turns out that 14% of remote software engineers were hardly doing any work at all. The same applies to 9% of those working both remotely and in the office, as well as 6% of those who work in the office full-time. On average, this figure is 9.5%. 

An analysis of commits (a method of saving changes in code that contains information about what was changed and who made those changes) revealed that approximately 58% of employees make fewer than three commits per month. The remaining 42% make trivial changes, such as editing a single line or character, pretending to work.
