in thread Programming Perl as a Job: 8 hours a day is too much for me

I have read all of your posts so I had someone tell me most pro's pump out about 1k lines a day. Another friend who is also working told me he codes about 4 hours a day because the rest is in meetings and dealing with work related stuff that is not coding. And I think lines do not mean anything since somedays in my opinion you do a lot sometimes you do a little. Any thoughts?

    Hehehe...1000 lines per day? Sure...but at the end of that day, I'd probably throw away oh...let's say about 1000 lines of code. :-)

    As for hours per day of coding, it really depends on what your role on the team is, etc. Some people have no meetings to go to, some have more than others...it all depends. I also want to add that while it is possible to code 8 hours or more per day, the quality of that code will vary depending on how much of the time you actually spend coding is spent "in the zone".
