How hard do you work?
ggruschow: I don't work hard anymore. I try to eliminate the need for it. If that fails and it's more than just assembling or moving a desk, I try to pay someone else nice to do it. I'm happy that our society somehow considers typing to be more important work than roofing.I'm in my office around 45 hours a week.. somewhere around 5am-3pm M-F with probably 5 to 10 hours of errands, lunches, and lazy times cut out of that.I'd say I average 2 hours a week right now writing out "code" that I'd describe as my "work." That seems insanely low, but given a good typing speed, that's enough to write the K&R C book in a month. I wish my quality were that high, but I'm trying.I think at the office I'm probably down to ~10 hours a week of "unproductive" time now (e.g. reading this stuff, writing this comment, gossiping with friends about someone's date).
