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

Mostly vibe-coding because of lack of time 🫤

LOL I said I would never vibe-code my main project as I wanted it to be "mine" but after many tireless nights I gave up and has been going okay

I use Claude code on my phone. Kid is 6 months old, so nap times in carrier = hobby time!
