How many hours a day / week do y'all actually code for your jobs? I'm having trouble reconciling the

"I'm constantly grinding 24/7 bro" SWE's on here and the

"I code two hours a day in between yoga breaks" washed up Google engineers.

As a CTO in 20 person shop it's very variable. Sometimes it's 4-6 hours in a day. Other times it could be weeks before I write anything more than a bash 1-liner.
