How Many Hours Should you Code Per Day?
How many HOURS should you CODE per day if you're learning how to program or even if you've been programming for a while?
In this video I share with you my thoughts on the topic of how much time you should dedicate to coding each day in order to be more efficient in your learning process and even when you start working as a full-time developer.
Some people say you need to code for 12 hours a day, others say you just need One Hour of Code. I recommend coding with a plan. Be structured, but also allow for your creativity to guide you.
Programming involves a lot of thinking, and the code you write is a direct result of how much you've thought about what it is you're trying to code.
If you spend very little time thinking, then the code you write probably won't be that great.
If you spend serious time planning, thinking and focusing on what you're looking to accomplish with your code, then the end result will be code that is easier to maintain, easier to read, and will often have less bugs.
When I first started learning how to code, somedays I spent 12 hours reading, following tutorials, trying to get an understanding of what I was learning.
As time went by, I scaled down the amount of time I spent coding to an average of 5 hours per day being spent on code.
There's also a difference between writing brand new code, and refactoring currently written code.
