I am actually coding or working with visual studio/dev tools in some capacity, about 7-9 hours a day. The rest of the day is spent to email, design docs and test plans, research, meetings, etc.

The option missing was, "I don't code only when I am sleeping!". Laugh | :laugh:

I was not able to count the hours, but, I know, on my mobile I am learning new frameworks, on laptop I am trying out new stuff. So... Only time when I am not coding is when I am sleeping, or maybe in dreams I am again coding but I don't know. Laugh | :laugh:

And the last one: "I code even while I am sleeping"

Ask me again when I look for another contract

Meeting chit chat eats way too much into my coding time, leaving me only with around 25 hours of coding time a week.

A lot...

I guess on average that's 40 to 50, but I've had weeks over 50.
Work, freelance work, blogs, homework...

Last week it was mostly C#, JavaScript and Haskell. Also HTML and CSS if you want to call them languages.
