Typically 0.5 to 6 (max) in a single workday unless there's something urgent that needs fixing.

I also have meetings during the day, learning I want to do, etc., that takes up my 8 hrs/day.

I rarely max out all of my hours in a day purely programming unless there's crunch happening for a feature release, which is not a good sign. If I'm in crunch mode more bugs than usual are being created.

I program less time now when I first started. I am more efficient and I take more time to think of the proper solution before I even start.

If I were job searching, I'd probably be doing a lot more programming and learning to brush up before any interviews. I am not interview-ready. lol
