Except that subjectively, time is very different for all of us, at various 'times' of our lives. If you are waiting for something important, time can seem to go very slowly. When I was a child, time seemed to run very slow. Now the years just fly by... Looking back, the difference seems stark.

That's the perception of it in your brain. That's a different story.

I suspect you would view that differently while waiting for the results of significant medical operation on a child.

Why? on the clock the time would be the same for everyone. The perception of it while waiting for the results would be bigger / slower for me, yeah, I give you that, but still the perception of it, not the time itself.

Time is the most objective thing we have.
Not since Einstein's Theory of Relativity was published. Every frame of reference has a different time, and these times cannot, in general, be synchronised (Only frameworks stationary relative to each other can be synchronised.).
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Nitpicky...  
On the other hand... time might be different long in case of the relativity, but the effect to people will still be the same under their own perspective / reality / timeframe / however it is called. So what I told before continue applying, only under a different "speed"

It may be objective, but it's not the same for everyone. General Relativity says otherwise. GR is correct, because if it weren't GPS and other satellite navigation systems wouldn't work.

I didn't say it is the same (phisically). I only said that it doesn't care about anything regarding us while doing its job, that it has the same value for all and that most will end regreting having wasted it.

Keep in mind, I'm an older version, maybe I'm completely wrong
For me it looks these days 85% of the time we have for development goes into
A.) 85% discussions/meetings about
- Which pattern here and there
- Dependency Injection here and there for loose coupling
- Code review and refactoring ... and testing the 'whole sh*t' again
- [Edit]Learning/recognize this and that syntactic suggar [/Edit]
- ....
B.) 15%
Implementing the customer's request
Don't get me wrong: All these Patterns and technics (DI, test driven dev, etc.) are pretty ok.
But the religion around it takes too much of the resources 
Others who feel the same?

IMO
especially for new projects.
80% deciding what "technology of the day" to use
15% reverting back to trusted but boring technology.
5% coding.

Definitely an upvote for this reply 
On new projects, we're often like crows looking for food. Wait! Check this out, a new shiny object! Hours later, hmm, it doesn't do anything or do it better.

90% rewriting builder scripts due to new .NET versions / new signing demands from CA authorities
10% coding
|
|
|

Let me agree with your sentiment by proposing the following analog:
Even the software development itself is 90% thought and visualization and only 10% writing code.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

If one actually spent "85%" on scope, requirements, analysis and design, one would probably only need 15% to program it.

And then the 50%, at the back end, spent on testing. 
If an organization is large enough or has standards to follow, it'll be blessed by not having to spend much time on requirements. I can see how that would became an absolute sink for time in a small organization developing bespoke software.

Acceptance testing and user training is another matter.
A "big" company has no "requirements"? That's like saying any car is good enough. Leather, no leather. Yoke, no yoke.
The CEO has one set of requirements; everyone below him has to translate that into "their" requirements; and so on. To Excel or not to Excel.
I've done small and big; they all have "requirements" that aren't on the shelf. The "problem" is a lack of visibility of methodologies. "Deliverables" is what makes a user go round. Not (lack of) progress reports; but design documents that work for "everyone". One has to keep the user "interested". Which means incremental "development" of things that can actually be put to use.
