Depends. Early on i was putting in 50s. During the summer it was closer to 20 ;) now I'm between 30-40. Family time is super important to me so I make sure to be off by 5 (I'll still take calls and address issues at any hour when&

Ahh, perhaps that wasn't obvious. I do all of my time tracking inside of Freshbooks. That way there is no discrepancy when I bill the clients.

Hey Scott, I totally understand your perspective. However, this is Hacker News. It's all about the community and helping other hackers out. To be honest, there is such a huge sea of work out there, I would be happy if others would take s
