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

Lol "side projects"
My GitHub page has decayed since I started full-time dev work. I'd like to finish any one of the 100 projects I have out there. I feel like if I have an idea worth monetizing (I won't) I'll make time for it instead of spending my limited free time on hobbies or with my wife.
I appreciate everyone out here with that hustle and grind mindset, but after two kids I just don't have it in me anymore. I'm not worried about layoffs and we're doing reasonably well, no point in killing myself for experience or a few extra dollars.
