Do you code for your day job, though? Your profile suggests you may be a technical manager. I'm guessing you don't code for 8-10 hours a day, then come home and code for 1-2 more hours[0]? That's the argument the parent is making. I know that I personally am only good for 4-6 hours of productive coding. Any more than that and I write bugs, not code.

[0]: If I'm wrong and you're doing 10-12 hours of productive code a day, then good god man, what's your secret?!?

Haha, yeah you are correct. Unfortunately I usually don't get more than a few hours of code in per day at work. I lead a small development team, besides that I also assist in sales and communicate with customers.

Today was a good day and I spent about 6 hours staring at code at work, and maybe will get about a half hour of hobby coding in before I go to bed. I would agree that anything above 8 hours of real coding is pretty superhuman, though it looks like some people on github are achieving it.
