Isnt it stresfull to work as a developer?

Question

Hey guys, this is question for employed developers. I want to ask if it is stressful to code 8 hours in row, 5 days in a week. I can't even imagine it. So how do u handle this guys?

Answer 1

No, it's not stressful, but it may take some time to get used to it.
Sometimes I work even more than 8 hours in a row, because I just don't like to end my work day with unfinished tasks.

Answer 2

It really depends on the level of stress the job places on their developers. Personally I enjoy coding 8 hours a day but the company I worked for expects reasonable amount of work from their developers, they also provided food/drink and I would usually go to the gym mid day to get a workout in.
