I have never had a problem with the Coder Ability Timer expiring before the Code is successfully written. The trick lies in opening the Coder Panel (use the Code Analyzer Tool) and then briefly tap a movement key once, which should result in your RSI returning to the standing position with the Coder Panel still open. Now you can use your Inventory, Hotbar and the Coder Panel all together. Select a frag to consume, use the Coder Ability and click Write Code, without having to open the panel and manually re-locate the code.
If the brief keypress (of W, S, A, D or an arrow key) does not return you to the standing position, try moving to a few meters away and repeat the attempt. (You had better already be standing by a Signal Booster Dish and wearing all your Coding/Crafting Bonus Apparel, or you are just wasting your frags.) If no amount of key tapping returns you to standing, try cycling thru the Loading Area or the Launcher.
If the Devs consider this "high risk coding while standing" a bug/exploit and "fix it," then absolutely increase the timer on the Ability or assure us that the succeed/fail determination is made early in the final "Write Code" step. It's not reasonable to expect that an average player can re-open the control and manually find the specific structure (among the hundreds) and still have time for the final Write to complete before the Coder Timer expires.
