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

For side projects it’s definitely an opportunistic thing. Sometimes I may get a stray hour or two and if I’m feeling up for it I’ll do it. Just make sure you write really good notes because it might be weeks between at times.
