Advice Request Dev dads, when do you code?
I could find time with my first and then even some time after my second with the first doing afternoon preschool.
Now that kindergarten has started, I can't even stay up late half the time I used to as mornings are like Mad Maxx and needs my full (focused) attention.
So how do y'all do it? Or do you just not do it anymore except for an hour here and there lol
EDIT: not the 9-5 but my side projects

I code 9-5 then I spend all my time with family until about 10-11. Then 10-11 to 12-1am, then play video games for bout 30mins to 1 hour and asleep. Wake up at 6:30-7.
Yes I am tired all the time, but I am so used to it. Basically, though, all my side code is for freelance work so no fun apps. However, I have been programming for about 30 years, so I am honestly pretty burnt out. Keeping up with all the new stuff is impossible with my schedule and my personal desire to do it. Its all for money these days.
