Ask HN: How much time do you spend coding outside of work per day?

Just curious, got the developer report from CodinGame (https://www.codingame.com/work/codingame-developer-survey-2020/#page9) and it says 1 in 3 developers code for more than an hour a day outside of work (or school).

It seems a lot to me, even when taking the inherent bias of their audience into account (CodinGame is a platform of coding puzzles/games for developers and a recruiting tool for companies)

If I have a project I'm working on, like a website for myself or someone else, I'll spend like 2-5 hours a week; otherwise, almost nothing outside of work.

I don't feel compelled to code outside of work just for the sake of coding, it's only if I want to make something.
