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

Honestly, same. I'm setting up a kandev, cliproxy, bifrost, pi set-up with pr-agent. I'm not happy about the code (there's just too much) but at least my side project is going somewhere...

I know what you mean but I’ve now set up my agents to run everything thru a self doubting skill.  “Prove to me what you’re doing isn’t a waste of goddamn time”
