Okay, they are not literally adding up the hours in the day and accounting for how they spend 24 hours. Obviously they didn't include eating and bathroom breaks, so we know there are omissions here. They are saying the sum total of what they feel they are accomplishing in a day is waste time on Youtube and HN, and then sleep for a short amount of time. Maybe it's 3 hours, maybe longer. Later in the post the author says they have trouble with their memory, so these numbers may not mean anything at all in an absolute sense. The point though is that the author feels like their entire day is consumed with videos.
Ok, I thought maybe the author is going to work getting 8 hours sleep etc. And spends their free time napping and watching youtube.
I thought maybe they are software dev moaning about how they are not working on their side project in addition to a job. ... Which would be crazy! If u can hold down a job, pay rent, exercise, drink water etc. without losing it then youre doing great. You dont see many builders moaning that they dont build a small house in their backyard after labouring on the building site all day.
