Question for the programmers... How many hours do you code (PHP/Python/JS/JAVA/C# etc..) per day on a consistent basis?

I've done a little bit of research, and it seems that the "magic number" seems to be about 4 hours per day. That's the minimum I strive to complete per day which really doesn't sound like that much.

Less cognitively demanding tasks such as video editing, graphic design, HTML pages, moving files around, hosting/WordPress installs and setup, I can do on the computer for 8-12 hours per day without much difficulty. I've played internet poker for 20+ hours per day, but often struggle to churn out that 4 hour minimum of coding..

Some days I wish I pushed myself so hard that I fell asleep at the keyword like Bill Gates did when they were first starting Microsoft. When I first started learning PHP coding in 2003, I think I was coding about 6-8 hours per day, every day. Is this 4 hours per day just 40% of our potential? Have I lost the hunger?

Can anybody proudly post their time logging app screenshots (Rescue Time/ Screen Time) of consistently working over 40 hours per week in their coding IDE?
