How long should you code a day?
It is very hard to estimate how many hours you should code each day. Some people suggest to keep it short and sweet. 15 minutes is good enough.
How many hours should I practice coding?
For example, programming 1 hour per day every day consistently is much better than thinking you will get in 8 hours every week or so. You can scale those numbers as appropriate. For example if you work or study during the day, you could try programming for 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening.
