I code 4 hours a day, but I’m measuring that by excluding research, questions, communication. Meetings, lunch, non-coding work tasks, and non-work are also excluded.
That’s less than 50% of my work day, but actually feels like a solid amount both by fatigue, and by comparing with friends and colleagues. My distribution is fairly bimodal, I’ve noticed I usually do 2-3 hours or 6-8 depending on the day.
Clearly I’m somewhat crazy (semi joke!), because I actually keep a running timer on my desk to measure this...
- wdfx 7y agoI was doing the same, precisely timing work activities: https://doug.pacifico-hammond.co.uk/software/hardware/2018/06/24/the-task-switch.html https://doug.pacifico-hammond.co.uk/software/hardware/2018/0... Though I haven't had the need to use it since I changed jobs and now spend a lot more time coding and with fewer context changes.
