A Day in the Life of a Computer Programmer
As a computer programmer, my daily life is actually kind of weird.
I did my undergrad in computer science and worked with Microsoft for 4 years. I'm self taught and have spent a far greater amount of hours learning how to code. I work on US based client projects.
Due to different time zone, my hours are not fully standard. Usually I try to work 7–9 hours a day, however sometimes it can be as much as 10–12 hours.
Here is my routine that I follow roughly everyday,
