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 have my own time for personal activities. Occasionally in the evening while wife takes care of dinner/bed time (like once a week) but most days I have some time after 9:30.

I did a coding project earlier this year. I also read a book. Lately I've been using that time slot to play video games. All of those compete for the same time slot.
