How many hours do you code per week?

That is, anything that involves sitting down, looking at code, thinking about it, looking up things to make your program(s) work, and actually writing code.

Around 50 hours a week

It varies. Between 40 and 80 I guess. The last 3 weeks i put in over 80 per week but ill throw in some weeks in between projects where i only do a 40 hour week. Some weeks every second I'm not sleeping I'm writing it really pisses off the wife.

At my jobs I clock in 50-60 hours per week, but I'd say I'm coding for about half of that, and the rest is researching or reading documentation; to give a more accurate description.

Yeah thinking about what your going to write, researching etc is probably 30% of the time. Usually ill have done about 3 weeks to a month of reading research before a large project unless I'm already familiar with the technology.

Yeah. Reading and doing research takes a big portion of the day.

These days I'm lucky if I get to code 10 hours in a week. Most of my time is spent in meetings or liaising with the business. I also spend a lot of time helping the less experienced programmers get through their assigned tasks so the the more senior programmers can stay focused and code exclusively. Being the gray beard in my team makes my time too valuable to waste on coding apparently. I miss the days of marathon coding sessions and pushes for looming release dates. Now I just try to stay on top of the work of my subordinates and take guilty pleasure in the few moments I get to write something, er, anything. Hell, I was recently beaming with joy that I got to write some fucking VBA code in Outlook to bring the damn reminder windows to the front since one of our GPOs fucked with the window titlebar flashing count which causes Outlook to not throw non-modal dialogs to topmost window order. I was happy I still remembered enough Win32 API to do it but the whole purpose was so I wouldn't miss meetings that keep me from coding. FML.

That sounds like something that happened in a place I used to work... missing meetings because of outlook's nonsense. Where do you work? Or maybe just the state, rather, if you don't want to be too specific

Having worked as an Android developer for over 5 years now, initially for the purpose of learning I used to code at least 4 hours a day, just for the sake of learning. I used to practice many mock tests and practice questions on the Internet. But now since I have entered into a group of learned developer, I usually code for 2 hours a day. But I must say that I do no keep myself aloof from the latest technology updates and the new versions released for both the consumer as well as the developer.

Ever since the new Android Mobile Application development version was released, I have never stepped back in learning the new things into it. Also, working hours hardly matters, its just the knowledge which matters.

That's interesting. I like it like chia se acc cf

About 40 hours a week is roughly equal to the time I play kiểm tra số điện thoại

Around 30 hours a week. That's about 5 hours per weekday and a few other on the weekends. I spent the reminder time on meetings and reading about programming,

I work from home for a company in the states, so I would say I work 7 days a week, about 40-90 hours a week.

I am programing for 12 hours a day. I will also have some SWT requirements to satisfy, but I expect these to be very minimal, and now that I have a deeper understanding of SWT, I feel I should be able to spec these out fairy quickly and easily. I’m in a position to fix or work around bugs in the Java2Script compiler

12 hours per day except Sunday!
