How does top 1 code for 13 hours per day? o_o


I've used Wakatime now for a few years (I highly recommend it), and have been going through one of the toughest projects of my life in the last 8 months. At one point I reached ~16 hours per day (for only a couple of days). This kind of output is not sustainable for more than a few days without incurring serious problems from it. I have now gone back down to a more normal 6-9 hours per day.


Tip: Turn up your timeout preference.

The default 15 mins is very accurate, and only represents time typing not time working.


Thanks for the tip, didn't know I could modify this.


Not sustainably... I've done that myself: it's hella fun but towards the end of the week the code stopped making sense and had to sleep for a whole day. WakaTime is very accurate so my daily average is only 4 hours of actual typing per day:
