Sarah, thank you so much for this article.

It's a little more complicated for families who like to eat and wear clean clothes. :) The "10 minutes here & 15 minutes there" have to be used for laundry, cooking, dishes, and cleaning. That leaves zero time.

Realistically, I find that I can only level up if i allocate time from sleep, between 1am and breakfast, while everyone sleeps.

It's easier to do with babies who stay home all day, but this becomes harder and dangerous if you have teens with extra curricular activities who need lots of involvement and chauffeuring. Driving on no sleep is dangerous, and so is chopping vegetables.

In then end, you just end up programming at a much slower pace than say a college-aged programmer. A college-aged programmer can make an app in a few nights, say 20 hours. A mom with 3 teens can take 1-2 months to fit in 20 hours of coding. At least that's been my experience.
