Ask HN: How many hours a day do you actually work(specifically developers)?
I am not equating hours to output but i am curious to know how many hours as a developer or also someone with other jobs do you actually work and how much time is spent on HN or other non work related stuff.

It gets closer to zero when i have problems focusing and so go into runaway internet time burning. This typically happens when some exciting/problem solving part of a project concludes, and i'm left with either a million possible ways to move forward past the solved problem, or a need to do the boring "awesome, now make it work" part of a project.
Procrastination is a problem solving decompression sickness.
It get closer to "code until a non maskable sleep interrupt fires" when there is a problem and the solution is close or something does not work but should, or something that haven't worked for a while finally starts to.
Between the two extremes there is pretty much any times depending on things to be done and free time available.
