I don't believe for a second that most developers spend an hour a day on side projects. I'd believe many, but not most. There just isn't that kind of time available for many full-time developers with a family and responsibilities outside of coding.
I know I spend quite a bit of time coding for fun, but I know many people who do "not so cool" development at their day job who want nothing to do with code in the evenings.

"Average" here quite likely means arithmetic mean, not median, and the distribution of side-coding-time among developers is probably not normal, so its quite possible for the average to be more than 7 hours and most to do significantly less than that.
- vonmoltke 10y agoIn that case, the statement is misleading.
- humbleMouse 10y agoYeah there's no way in hell the average developer spends more than 7 hours a week coding on the side even when taking into account people who code 4 hours a day after work. I personally run for the hills and leave my laptop at work when I go home.
