How many hours do you really work?

I see a lot of people saying that they are working crazy long hours(12-14+). Excluding time wasting, watching youtube speaking with cowerkers about life etc how many hours do you really work? Include designing, writing documentation, meetings, code review, writing code, mentoring.

6-7 hours of focused work, including meetings

Nice! I found that this number is around the magic one for me also!

leetcoding and studying adds an extra 4-5 but i think 6-7 of focused work should be good

Thanks for sharing. Ive just been assuming all start ups require way more hours than that. Is it a later start up or early/tiny place?

Adobe the_matrix Feb 8, 2022

it’s been around for a while, tiny place but good culture. i was a lead so i don’t participate in sprint. but even when i did, stuff we do at start up were so easy and repetitive, no unit testing, no design review, no worry about performance, just whatever works. zero challenges.
