Sometimes it confuses me when people say they code this huge number of hours per week. To me a large portion of coding (over 75%) is just sitting down and thinking about the problem. Most of coding these days is about researching libraries, designing, playing around rather than typing. Try to be more effective in these bursts. Use tools that help you get ideas to code faster.
