before pandemic maybe 5 hours/day and 3+ hours were for casual discussions after lunch and some thinking/walking time to refresh. while in pandemic, with lots of distractions here and there at home with kids, maybe 2 hours/day or less for coding, other part is trying to imitate productive person by answering slack messages and staying online. My only excuse is, company hired me and in contract stated that work should be performed in an office provided by company, if you are not providing office, I am sorry, but you should cope with my distractions at home and get whatever I produce, my kids are more important to me then your automate everything for useless corporate politics game. I can't say to my kids "shut up I am working", "I am not at home", "imagine I am not here", "please shut the door" and so on.
