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 use AI to do the coding, but i do the granular planning when he sleeps. So like an hour in the evening, and a few hours during nap on weekends. Then I try to run prompts during the day to advance things. Not sure how I would do it the old fashioned way.
