When you stack bricks for a living you're either stacking bricks or you're not, and the total number of bricks stacked in a given amount of time is a pretty good measurement for who is most efficient at stacking bricks. Coding is not stacking bricks. It's problem solving. Sometimes I'm problem solving in the shower after a long day. Sometimes I'm solving problems by getting away from the laptop and running on the treadmill for 20 minutes. Sometimes I lay down in bed at night, sleep for a couple hours, then sit bolt upright because I just figured out the problem that has been stopping me from seeming productive all day. The amount of time I spend making my keyboard go clicketyclack or the total amount of code I write is an objectively shit measurement of my coding efficiency because, again, coding is not stacking bricks.
