Is it possible...

to program for 8 hours a day? I can barely do it for 4 before I feel like bashing my head off of a wall from extreme boredom and then I just start doing every little thing I've been neglecting. Once I run out of those things I start to make shit like this.

Now excuse me need to try to get back to work

Code shit you want, and hone your skills for profitability.

i sit in a cube for 8 hours a day but really only code for about 20 minutes. i'm dying on the inside.

Not necessarily. It's thing you train yourself into, for better or worse. I used to be able to put only six-hours tops. Then I got up to speed and were able to dish out eight or more, without the last hours being utter crap. I do find that I need more time to unwind after doing so, though.

For the record, I do have ADD, and medicate and meditate to counteract it (the meditation also helps take off the edge off of methylphenidate, if you get what I mean), but before, even under those conditions I couldn't.

I only ever have a couple of hours of real concentration a day. I don't think most people can go for too long.

It completely depends on what you're coding. If you're working on some lousy Java DB middleware, you're going to be hard-pressed to keep going for more than an hour or two. It's the code you really enjoy that is easy to write, extend, and debug.

Music helps, though!

>>15. I also take vit shakes. keeps me up and keen. I eve ask the boss for 5 min breaks, I take like 8 of them a day in intervals.

Still, real jobs pay you per project/task, or by salary, so you can time your work times to what you head can make.

Happy st patty's day you niggers
