i worked 124.5 hours from april 1 through apr 15.
holy fu*k.
Are you still working in the it/coding/programming world?
yup. doing backend/frontend programming, infrastructure etc. lots of "intense" coding.
Do you enjoy working those kind of hours?
i'd rather work less, but it's hard to find good people around here. our frontend engineer recently resigned (he was awful) and i've been trying to fix his code & get it ready for the next person (or group of people). so that's where most of the extra hours come in, picking up someone elses work load.
but ya i do enjoy it.
i get paid for every hour too soo, it's not like i'm working for "free" when i put in more hours. so that helps. people can get understandably "bitter" if they are routinely asked to do more work and not get compensated for it, ie salaried positions that overwork people. so i have a decent agreement there with my boss.
i'd love to work < 30 hours a week tho.. hah. i used to put in 10-20, and was fine with it. now i'm putting in tons but it's because we have a ton of stuff going on that requires a ton of development/attention etc.
but ya i love coding.
i'd love to get to the point where i'm working < 30 and we (myself & company) are making big $$ just because everything is so efficient & well architected.
peace man!
