Are we talking wall-clock time, wall-clock time related to employer, or RescueTime?
I'm at work from about 10:00 AM to around 7:30-8:00 PM. I'm doing employer-related things basically the whole time. However, that includes two meals (usually spent with teammates or friends in other areas of the company), meetings, tech talks, random office chatter, design brainstorming, code reviews, asking for help, etc.
I'm really skeptical that time spent actually coding totals more than 4-5 hours/day. That was my RescueTime average when I was doing my startup, with my absolute max at 7 hours/day, and I think I worked much harder then than I do now.
I also have side projects and do some thinking about work-related stuff at home, but I don't count that at all. How do you measure your thoughts? If you randomly come up with a good idea while in the shower, does that count as work?
