Hey Alex, I am in the boat where I work 8+ hours a day, have an active social life, in a super fun cover band, and going through a self-paced bootcamp (Flatiron School) and I always make sure I spend at least 1 hour a day coding during the week, and at least 2 hours in the weekend mornings. It's tough. Sometimes I wish I could just quit my job and focus on coding, but there is something to be said about those who are dedicated enough to find a way to teach themselves how to code and be able to balance their life without going crazy or hungry.

I am right there with you. Keep it up!
