This sounds more familiar to me. xD 8 hour day, in a place with a nice or relaxed working culture that turns into 6 hours. Minus lunch break, 5. Minus meetings, 4. Minus helping others, 3. Minus whatever procrastination during the day, in practice 2 hours on actual code.

I could see that going up to 5 depending on the working environment. But people answering 7+ hours seems bonkers to me, that's more than a working day!

I worked 8 hour days in tech support but that doesn’t involve much thinking.

I’m extremely sceptical of people who say they can code for that amount of time.
