I have a friend that still rocks 12 hours a day at 49. The only difference is that now he takes pain killer for his back or he can't focus.

But he does everything like this, not just coding.

He started playing LoL again last week. Well, 12 hours a day of gaming it is.



More power to him! I find it hard to get large blocks of quiet time now having three kids, but that's life :-) My dad was a lot like him, though, was coding or hacking around on ham radios most of the day well into his 60s.


Yeah, of course, that goes with it: he doesn't have kids, and he has money.

But, again, I'm in the same boat, and 4 hours of coding is already plenty for me.
