Programmers Life
A daily programmer life can vary depending on the type, scope, and complexity of the projects they work on, as well as the company culture, team dynamics, and personal preferences. However, some common aspects of a daily programmer life are:
• Coding: This is the core activity of a programmer, where they write, test, debug, and optimize code to create software applications or systems. Coding can be done in different languages, frameworks, and environments, depending on the project requirements and specifications. Coding can be challenging, rewarding, and fun, but also frustrating, tedious, and exhausting at times.
• Meetings: Programmers often have to attend meetings with their managers, clients, stakeholders, or teammates to discuss the project progress, goals, issues, feedback, or collaboration. Meetings can be useful for clarifying expectations, resolving problems, or brainstorming ideas, but they can also be distracting, boring, or unproductive if not well-managed.
• Research: Programmers need to constantly research and learn new technologies, tools, techniques, or best practices to improve their skills and knowledge, as well as to find solutions to the problems they encounter. Research can involve reading documentation, articles, blogs, books, or forums, watching videos, podcasts, or webinars, taking courses, or experimenting with code snippets or examples.
• Documentation: Programmers need to document their code, design, architecture, or functionality to make it easier for themselves and others to understand, maintain, or modify it…

Work Work for a programmer is their bread and butter. It’s usually where we get to program the most.

Work for a programmer is their bread and butter. It’s usually where we get to program the most. In my case, I program, review/monitor analytics, look for new areas to collect data on, and implement all of the above each day. I also take breaks to keep my sanity and drink copious amounts of coffee (a lot of decaf, though, I like the taste). I tried to write a chronological hour-by-hour timeline, but failed since my days can vary wildly.
The work environment for a developer can vary from terrible to downright entertaining. Most companies know that a happy, comfortable programmer is an efficient one. The ones that don’t know this typically can’t keep programmers on board for very long.
Friends Thanks to the reality of what I’ve stated above, time with my friends has come to a halt as of late. I don’t boil this down to being a programmer, though. It’s much more aligned with a change in priorities. In the past year I’ve graduated from college, gotten married, and brought our first-bRead more

Thanks to the reality of what I’ve stated above, time with my friends has come to a halt as of late. I don’t boil this down to being a programmer, though. It’s much more aligned with a change in priorities. In the past year I’ve graduated from college, gotten married, and brought our first-born into the world. Combine those three with getting plunged into the working world and it’s a lot at once. I might be an edge case, and I hope to change it someday, but as of right now that’s life.
Fun All of the above doesn’t leave much time for fun. To keep my sanity, I squeeze every bit of free time out of life to ensure that I’m not missing out on opportunities. Of course spending time with my family is fun, but for the sake of separation I’ll be excluding that time from this section (I feRead more

All of the above doesn’t leave much time for fun. To keep my sanity, I squeeze every bit of free time out of life to ensure that I’m not missing out on opportunities. Of course spending time with my family is fun, but for the sake of separation I’ll be excluding that time from this section (I feel I did the Family section justice). As part of my free time at home I enjoy building side projects. I love creating beautiful web applications that could benefit the lives of others. My passion is creating things for others through programming. I love the feeling I get when someone enjoys something I’ve made. I can’t get enough of it. I’ve started hundreds of side projects, “finished” a few (is a project ever really finished?) and am working on a promising one right now. I love it and can’t get enough, but I pace myself so that I don’t squander precious time with my family.
Monday to Friday: I work around 18 hours per day and I don’t even notice they were so many hours. I recover my dignity this way.

Repeat.
Corollary: Dignity is a renewable resource.
