DeathStar Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 How many hours do you spend coding a day? Just interesting to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 It's what I do for a living, so I'd better be able to put in a solid amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbullmarky Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 tis a tricky one for me. i said 10-20, but it's so broken up across the day as I work at home (and hence have the kids to manage too) and work all sorts of crazy hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Currently I guess it is 0-1 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orio Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Well that depends- there are days I don't code at all, and there are days I code over 6 hours... So I choose 1-3, something in between Orio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ober Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I put 1-3... used to be 8+, but I'm in more of a management/analyst position now and I spend half my day in meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfmason Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 10 - 20.. I work a massive amount of hours. I start my day at around 6:30 to 7:00 am and normaly call it a day at around 10:30 pm or 11. I take breaks in that time but for the most part I am codding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I was on the fence between 7-10 and 10-20. I generally spend between 10-12 on weekdays between my FT job and personal projects, but that's been a little less over the last couple months since I've started doing more meetings/planning. On weekends, I'm down around the 4-6 hour mark, so that kind of wrecks my curve, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted_chou12 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 If you sit more than ten hours everyday, dont your bottom hurt and sore when you get up??? , I do. Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Well sure, if you don't take breaks. In the summers, when I'm pulling real shifts at the office, I take a five minute break every two hours, and a half hour for lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clown[NOR] Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 it's not my job, but I just really love working with PHP and MySQL... even tho I'm still a rookie... I guess on a good day I spend aprox 10-20 hours... but the other day here I didn't sleep for about 35-36 hours and I was coding almost the whole time =) *addicted? nah * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 if you've got the time to do it as a hobby, or just got the time full stop, you really need to try and curb your hours. I too have found myself seriously putting in some serious time - yet when I look back at the day at how much i've done, i tend to find that my longest days are the least productive.

clown[NOR] Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 well... i started out really good, managed to start making some stuff in MySQL (that was the day I started with MySQL)... and the first 15 hours i was really productive and from there i was riding on a one way ticket to chaos... i was actually going to reply on a post here... think i was going on the 30th hour or something... and what I ment to type was "maybe someone more experienced could give you some more info" what i wrote (i didnt post it) "maybe someone more experienced ? black snipping" something like that...

Oh, so, so, so true. I would much rather have 4-5 hours of focused time to spend on a large project than to have 12-14 hours where my mind is wandering. I've learned that when I get to the point that I'm struggling to keep my mind focused on the problem at hand, I'm better off setting it aside for a day, or even a week at times, and coming back to it with fresh eyes.
