Well being a software contractor, I only get to bill for the time I actually do my job. I don't keep the clock running while I'm on HN for example. On a good day I can work a full 8-10 hours of billable time (which includes not only writing code but researching APIs, documenting infrastructure, etc). But on a day when there's a lot more unknowns that have to be waded through (when it feels like running through molasses), I end up getting distracted more easily and have a harder time hitting 8 hours. Still doable, but I need to do things like work from home (where there's no internet to be distracted by) instead of at the library, and lock myself in my home office so I can focus. Speaking of which, have to get back to this configuration task [1] [2]. I have half a mind to write a blog post about it, in the hopes of inspiring others to help move this front-end JS ecosystem forward, which it still needs.
