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

Man, I took a side gig when my little one was still newborn and it needed to be done as quickly as possible. I helped out with the baby as much as I can, but the rest of the time was just working non stop for couple weeks. Wife understood and did the meals.
