              I can't recall the last time this happened.  If it did, I would politely ask why my presence is required and excuse myself so I can return to doing real work. /ravi

                I used to write code (snippets). Haven't been in one of those type of meetings in over 20 years. Nowadays, I am mandatory and have an active role.

                  I used to do that "writing with your left hand" when I was in college lectures (most of them were pretty boring). Nowadays I tend to play LOTR in my head.

                          I still try to pay attention to the meeting. With my last boss I could bet on him having a reason, sometimes political, sometimes for me to learn something new. I do not draw, since it looks like you're a bored kid who cannot be bothered to listen for a few minutes. Imagine spending a lot of money (>100k) on a product, sitting down with the devs, and then see two of the devs drawing pictures like they prefer not to be there.
