I don't need compile downtime with Clojure and couldn't find the option:

* Today: Should be coding right now, but I'm guilty of using a dynamic language and still stopping to read HN.

Then again maybe using a dynamic language earned me the break? So change that:

* Today: Earned a break to read HN by using Clojure.

For me, this question really doesn't answer much about my coding habits. A more relevant question would be "what's your coding velocity and acceleration". Yes, it requires calculus to answer that question, but it contains far more information.

The choices would be: "High, and increasing", "High, and steady", "High and decreasing", "Moderate and increasing", "Moderate and steady", ... etc.

Right now I'm at the terrifying "peak" of: "high, and decreasing" or "moderate, and decreasing". I'm getting drained, and it sucks. I feel burnout on the horizon.

Does Ruby count as code?

Why shouldn't it count?

Waiting for my client's feedback. Pushed 45 minutes ago.

Going by "ls -lrt ~hacks/", I think I write software, in some form, everyday.

Your system has a user named `hacks'? ;)

Ha. I actually tick the 'while compiling' box today as I'm building an iPhone app. Usually it'd be PHP or perl.

I code in PHP, so no compiling, but I last checked in changes 27 minutes ago.

I've been coding everyday for the last 2 months: It's summer's fault.
