Ask HN: How many hours a day do you actually work(specifically developers)?
I am not equating hours to output but i am curious to know how many hours as a developer or also someone with other jobs do you actually work and how much time is spent on HN or other non work related stuff.
- Artlav 9y agoCan be anything from zero to 30+ hours a day. It gets closer to zero when i have problems focusing and so go into runaway internet time burning. This typically happens when some exciting/problem solving part of a project concludes, and i'm left with either a million possible ways to move forward past the solved problem, or a need to do the boring "awesome, now make it work" part of a project. Procrastination is a problem solving decompression sickness. It get closer to "code until a non maskable sleep interrupt fires" when there is a problem and the solution is close or something does not work but should, or something that haven't worked for a while finally starts to. Between the two extremes there is pretty much any times depending on things to be done and free time available.
- mirrormind 9y agoMakes complete sense! Your English skills and also answering my question with something measurable are impeccable. I hope you write code like the way you answered my question. Would be one readable piece of code.
