How often do you code

For me it’s the fact that during the summer I have no life :slight_smile:

Hours: 10(ish)am - Midnight (minimal breaks)

During summer, I generally spend my mornings coding which means ~9-12. Then I do real life related things (hanging out with friends/GF, band stuff). Then I am back home usually by 10 and I code for another couple hours until maybe 2 in the morning. There are some days when I do nothing but code and game, but those are rare and make me feel lazy so I like to keep those days few and far between.

During school I barely get any time. Usually I program at night after I hang out with friends, so maybe 3 or 4 hours. Weekends, I revert back to my summer schedule.

I would go insane if I didn’t have a life besides coding, though. I need a balance between social interaction and coding or else I will end up eating someone or smashing my face into my desk.

Nothing worse when you literally “dream” of a way to fix something, or implement something. You wake up and your link “OMFG IT’S THAT SIMPLE”, then you fall back asleep and promise yourself you will remember that…

Ontopic : Very little as of lately, actually none. Working a lot and that but generally it is around 4-6 hours a day.

Hi

I code at least about 8 hours a day at work. I code between 1 and 16 hours a day on my spare time. I code less when I’m not single and I’ll probably code even less when I have to raise children.

Depends on my mood and freetime.
When I do something interesting or I’m learning new things I usually program 5-6 hours a day, but when it’s just writing bolierplate or coding GUI I can’t stand coding for more than 2 hours. Not sure how am I going to get used to 8 hour workflows when I’m going to do this for a living (probably going to take lots of coffee brakes :P).

I code whenever my meds kick in until they wear off.

Its not the number of hours you code, it is how productive you are that matters.

It varies day by day, but I use roughly about 20% of my dev time for writing code. And I think it is the easiest part of making games. :slight_smile:

Ive been getting the urge to do more coding at the moment , when you start programming after a long break its daunting and you don’t really want to , but when you get back into it , it’s really enjoyable and you find lots of projects to work on. I currently have the urge to learn c++, you know for funsies.

around 10 hours on a normal day, but that’s just because I’m a software developer. I spend around 3 hours every day on my own projects.
