Oh god please don’t. You may feel like you are superhuman but you aren’t and this will creep up to bite you in ways you don’t yet comprehend. For instance, all that time coding leaves little time for family. All that time coding leaves little time for your physical health. I guarantee you if you keep this schedule another 2-5 years you will burn out. Please don’t do this to yourself. 60hrs max and then go outside. Go do something in your community. Find a mate. Live.

- rochak 4y ago60 hours is also too much. Programming is an exhausting endeavour no matter how good anyone is. At least I feel that way.
- gabereiser 4y agoYeah I just say 60 hours max of “working”. Whether it’s coding, answering emails, reading docs, reviewing pr’s. At 60 hours I shut it all down to just watching videos.
- BlackjackCF 4y agoYep. I was one of those people who thought I was immune to being human. I had various friends who were a little older who told me to cool my jets. I didn’t listen, because YOU DON’T KNOW ME! I did burn out and became extremely depressed. My priorities have now shifted so that I care more about spending time with my friends and family. I realized I’m probably just as productive, if not more than I used to be. Maybe it’s because I was spending more cycles percolating on the problem instead of trying to bludgeon my way through. I don’t know if OP will heed this advice. I know if I went back in time a decade and told my younger self to slow down, my younger self wouldn’t listen. It might just be something you have to experience and learn the hard way :(
