Do you code on the weekend? How often, what’s your routine like?

I do Personal projects and stuff. Every weekend to be honest.
my routine is

[Markus]

Repeat?
Recursion in a while loop?

[Nathan Tamez]

haha, thanks it should be

// Recursion in a while loop Bug fix
day(){
    eat();
    sleep();
    code();
    if (alive)  day();
}

[Jack Williams]

Codeception, I love it

[Kenneth Cochran]

Could be ala clojure.

(loop
  (eat)
  (sleep)
  (code)
  (if (alive?)
      (recur)))

Game ?

[Nathan Tamez]

I don't nearly as much as I used to or a would like to. Always something to do, like work or personal projects as I'm still in uni/college. I also left my game PC at my place at uni, so only have my MacBook pro. as much as I love OSX , games don’t play nicely with the hardware (good specs but lack of cooling) or OS. but sure let's add game().

// adding game(), and ditching recursion for a while loop
while(alive){
  eat();
  sleep();
  code();
  game();
}

This is my attitude, as well. I often work on personal programming projects or contribute to open sourced projects. But if I want to be a lazy bum all weekend, I don't feel guilty about it.

I really need to lean not feeling guilty about not coding in my free time. I've multiple personal projects that I've never finished.

[Kesavan Palani]

I am also struggling a lot. It requires more discipline to work on personal project during weekend.

[Mohamed I.]

Streaming yourself coding on Twitch helps apparently.

I actually actively try not to spend time coding on the weekend. If the mood strikes me, I might spend an hour or two on a side project or reading articles, but after a full week at work, my brain is ready for rest. I also developed carpal tunnel in my wrist last fall, so the physical rest is necessary too if I want to avoid being in pain during the week.

Every weekend, I try to concatenate one more design pattern in one and testing the results. Is it good or not ? if good then I'm using it in particular projects that I've.
Sometimes trying to write basic AST and thinking about of it to improve but I don't have not much sources that I can rewrite it properly again.

Weekends for me are not much different than weekdays as a self employed freelance developer. I work when I'm interested in working. Sometimes that's 15 hours on a Sunday, and other times it's 15 hours for the whole week.

[Jacob Evans]

I really need to do more reading. Not just articles on here but books 📚. Lol 😆

[Giuseppe Vetri]

Here's my routine:
🛏️ Wake up
🧺 Breakfast
🧹 Do some house cleaning
🤓 Take some courses online for 1 hour
💻 Work on something i'm interested for 4 hours using pomodoro technique. For example: A blog post or some API i want to try.
💑 Spend the rest of the day with my girlfriend

[Shannon Crabill]

Yes, I code on the weekend. And most weeknight evenings.

I do not have a set routine, but since my bootcamp started on Monday, I'll be spending that time reading course material, doing lab challenges and working on side projects.

I recently read an article about reading 200 books in a year and I'd like to combine reading more with code. I got a library card last week and want to take advantage of what coding/programming books are out there.

[Sarah Bartley-Dye]

I usually do. I do tutorials for 25 minutes. Now that I'm doing 100 Days of Code I'm doing an hour of just building projects. I split it up by doing 30-minute sessions. Right now I do 30 minutes of just building a project. The other 30 minutes session is for updating my portfolio site.

My Saturday routine has been polishing up any bits of code I started may have actually written during the evenings all week long. If I do write something during the week, it tends to be more of a brain dump, just enough to give me a starting point on the weekend. Even then I try not to spend too much time coding during the day, that can wait until after the little one goes to bed. Sunday follows more or less the same pattern.
