The problem with the question is never liking the answer: "I'm probably gonna have to stare at the sky for 4-5 hours, and what you consider real work is gonna maybe start happening tomorrow."

I can't wait for low-code to get good. It's going to throw back in real time the obliqueness of the request:

"Validating most likely candidate solution..."

8 hrs later

"Solution failed to validate ... please try rephrasing request."

It may not be indicative of the industry at large, but most engineers I know get away with this by changing the framing "I'm working on a doc" or "I'm scoping this feature" etc. Obviously this does not work with sufficiently bad management.
