The problem really is that no one really measures the amount of time spent unless he has to. I only track time now because i have to bill them to clients, and it seems i have tracked approx 2500+ hours from December 2009, which is when i started freelancing. And i've probably been programming since college, but really minor stuff not much beyond the curriculum. But i've always played around with new technologies, even if it was just hello world in different dialects.
