For me, this question really doesn't answer much about my coding habits. A more relevant question would be "what's your coding velocity and acceleration". Yes, it requires calculus to answer that question, but it contains far more information.

The choices would be: "High, and increasing", "High, and steady", "High and decreasing", "Moderate and increasing", "Moderate and steady", ... etc.

Right now I'm at the terrifying "peak" of: "high, and decreasing" or "moderate, and decreasing". I'm getting drained, and it sucks. I feel burnout on the horizon.

I don't need compile downtime with Clojure and couldn't find the option:

* Today: Should be coding right now, but I'm guilty of using a dynamic language and still stopping to read HN.

Then again maybe using a dynamic language earned me the break? So change that:

* Today: Earned a break to read HN by using Clojure.
