Re: Ask HN: How much time per week do you spend on side projects?

Depends highly on family scheduling.

On weeks where I have a free Saturday (no kids or girlfriend) I can get in a solid 8-12 hours depending on motivation and other chores.

On weeks where I don't get that Saturday it can range from 2-6 hours if I'm lucky.

My current side project is something that if I had a company I could task out 2-4 devs, full-time, for probably 3-6 months just to get to beta state.

It actually really sucks, and is more depressing than I generally admit.
