I've heard a lot of devs here say they practised for at least 5hours+ non stop when they were learning to code. And I'm like, "is that really possible with out taking breaks in between?"
Because me, I'm still learning the fundamentals of JavaScript and to stay more that 2-3hours straight, sitting, looking at my laptop,without taking a rest is really difficult for me. So is it really possible to code for 5-8 hours nonstop without resting in between or am I just been lazy

GREATIGBOMAN:
5 hours is actually small... those who enjoy coding and will go far know this is real small.... sometimes u won't even know when you've done 10hours.

Yeah but these days, I cut it short so I can balance, I realize it's better to read short hours and understand than read long hours, so multiple short hours, if I read 3 hours, I will play game 2 hours read another 2 hours, drink or take a stroll or sleep then read again. You relax the brain. 10 hours is a lot but some can do that .

I use the Pomodoro time management technique. Go hard for 25mins. Short 5-mins break. Do this 4 times (two hours) then take a 30-min break. All those 12 hours non stop na shortcut to early health problems. Back pain

jbreezy:
Omo, that last statement, so true.

tensazangetsu20:
It really depends. If I am working on something interesting I could stay on my computer for 6 hours 7 hours non stop but if I am working on something boring meh

qtguru:


Nice I like this, you've given me something to research.

CamelCase:
I'm a testimony.

Back when I started learning python, I used to practice from 6am till about 5pm. Jokes apart.

Then we were on COASU strike in the college. I was back home with parents where my younger siblings did all the house chores, I was a strong introvert and had fell in love with python.

6am I'd be up.. then take like 30mins break 3 - 4 times in between which I used for food and walking.

Most times I stayed more. They was a particular day I stayed awake for 18hr coding.

It's not about the hours spent..

It's about the amount of projects you can come up with.

This is the mistake newbies make.

ichidodo:
Five hours?...That's chicken time... When you get into the zone and in that particular workflow, you'd be blowing 10 hours straight like its nothing.. one time, I was so engrossed that I never saw the sun in four days, the only thing I cared about was coding, bathing,eating and sh**ting until I got the job done...Now, I got a technical test of an interview for a remote AI engineering gig out there in New Zealand...So its back to the trenches, running 15-hour code sprints for 5 days straight.. f**k...

Only 5 hours? Unless you are not building any project. If you are, then before you know it 10 hours has gone. Coding is fun

Think4Myself:


Which kind project you don build before smh
Please coding is not fun 90% of the time, except it's just those to-do app kind of projects you're working on , or na just simply DOM manipulation ...
Try and attempt game design and go and cry. You think JS is easy abi? Game design with it will change what you know about it

GREATIGBOMAN:



U don the post this same picture for months now...

Are u stuck?

Yutes:



My nigga!

You sure Gon get that paycheck

I dont know about you. But there is this joy I feel when I finally get a line of code to work after getting different kind of errors, which when u solve one another pops up, you solve than one , another pops up. To be able to do that on my own without makes it fun for me , making me want to code more.
