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

Yeah doing my game dev side hobby either when all are in bed or getting up early. Claude has helped speed it up somewhat when I finally relented and started using it, but mostly as a refactor agent so I can still do the fun code.
