I spend.......1-3 hours, depending on the weather.

Averaged out I probably spend less than an hour a day. That being said I have been known to pull all nighters to get something complete when I feel necessary.

Mix between 2-4 hrs and 4-6 hrs. Most of my time is spent on my engine rather then OS... ...It depends on what my mood is

Am I only the only one to spend obscene amounts of time programming?

How long I spend coding depends entirely on whatever I have to do, in a day.

But, Im always designing, Always thinking - coding even when Im not infront of a keyboard.



I have the understanding that, unless I am making progress, I am going backwards.

@zeii: I'm with you on that. If I have nothing to do on a given day, I will probably code for 6-8 hours, not consecutively of course though. I find it better to spend time coding and fighting through bugs and other things then wasting away on the couch watching TV on a rainy day.

Funny to see how many obviously skilled developers seem to have nothing much to do for days on end.

On a workday, counting commuting, work, and lunch break, I am about 10 hours away from home. Add wife and two children and figure how much time I have on average to do anything.

4 to 8 - depending on if it's a weekend, school holidays, or if I'm sick at home (rainy days are the most productive days).

It depend on the task, as i working in spats, i will work all my spare time to get a job done (eg: code a editor or port fasm ). But then i will take a break for a month or so.
But even in that month i will be helping fallow DexOS coders or designing stuff for my OS.
I also take mini breaks, were i work mini projects, eg: i am now working on a bootable web browser challenge, that can boot up in a little over 1 second.

So i went for 2-4 hours.

No code till there is some design.

When i am coding an OS, i do about 2 hours a day on average unless I get really deep into a task and don't do any real work, or can't be bothered and don't do anything.

i got through phases, usually a couple of hours a day for a month or so, then i get bored and take a break for a month, and go back to it.

but on holidays or weekends i have been known to spend around 10 hours a day on it, when i have nothing to do. It's good hangover work actually.

I have class every week day, and homework most nights. That doesn't leave a whole lot of time for me to play around with coding right now (especially when you factor in the fact that video / computer games are more fun most of the time).

When I was working on it, I averaged about 2 hours a day. That was technically for a hard disk image creator / manager for working with filesystem design though, when I actually get to working on the kernel maybe I'll pick it up some.

about 3-4 hours on school day. weekend, max 10 hours

If I'm really into something, I can spend hours working on it. ('Applies to most anything. I can sit and paint for hours if I'm having fun with the colors.)

Generally, however, I'm not usually that excited about things.
