Yep. My job involves a fair amount of coding but it's geared toward data analysis. I might create something in a day with dozens of data points and look like a hero, while another project might take a week and the output is a single number.

Actually, yesterday it was two numbers, X & Y. (Upper & lower bounds on something). Deceptively simple in appearance to anyone consuming the information, but behind the scenes it took an order of magnitude more time to make it a dynamic model based on latest available data instead of a static hand-crafted analysis.
