How many hours have I worked infront of a screen? Too many. Daily I run about 12 hours, many times more than that. As for consistant time in front of a computer, a few days with a few power naps. I did have a stint many years ago (about 14) where I work for 23 days in front of a computer with 2 hours break/nap, along with regular stretching etc. I don't advise it, but when you have a huge project on your hands and you're the guy pulling all the strings to make the puppet jump, you have no choice. Many millions of dollars on the line, with a ton of penalties if the project was delayed. Of course, there was massive bonuses when we delivered before the deadline
It can be done - as long as the reward is worth it in the end.
