Software dev who never actually worked a normal job here (~2-3 years experience). How many hours a day do you actually work (write code or think about code/problem) and what is your coding area (Java Enterprise, WebDev etc), also please mention the country? Please only devs answer.

I developed software in university and beyond and live passively off it but i don't know how much longer will that last and also the years off work will hurt me in the future if i don't make it until i no longer have to work at all..

So how many hours out of those 8 do you actually work?

Webdev, front-end. No one works more than 50% capacity per day, at a maximum. I work maybe 30% in terms of coding / problem solving, but in terms of task productivity that's 100% according to deadlines / task expectation.

Depends, Usually 6 hours of "daydreaming coding" with 2 hours of "serious" coding.

This. If your job situation isn't this good, youre getting taken advantage of.

I am the co-founder of a finance/crypto startup and I both manage people and code (Python, numpy scipy pandas celery rabbitmq django). Most days I work more than 10 hours, some days even 12-14.

It looks like it will start paying off since we are close to getting a few mils from the first round of investors.

html/css/javascript front end. work about 2 hours a day maybe 4-5 if busy. i work at a startup with only 3 other devs so the work load is considered "large"
