I've never been reliably productive for more than 4ish hours of code per day.

When stuff is exciting or trivial it's easy to get list and spend longer, but in general I consider it a good day of I wrote for 4 legitimate hours.

I'm the same. In fact, I track my hours but only productive hours. It usually comes out to about 4 hours per day. There are those great days when it could be as high as 6 or 7 but those are rare. In fact, I've found that if I try to push myself and do more than 25 hours per week, I tend to get sick much easier.

Four consecutive hours? Is this without snags in your code?
