This is not the case for me. I program several hours; every single day. The results speak for themselves.
I also walk 3 miles, every morning. It helps the old ticker to keep ticking. I used to run, but kept injuring myself, resulting in long breaks.

My resting heart rate (in my 30s) is 48 bpm. Forty-eight! (As measured on multiple occasions by genuine hospital equipment that I happened to be using in the course of testing/working on it.) For someone who used to be a fat guy, that seems incredible. And yet there it is.
Read the parent comment again.
But read what I wrote: “This is not the case for me.”
I won’t speak to programming only 30 minutes a day, or only three and a half hours a week. I don’t do it, and don’t know anyone that does. It’s a strawman argument that doesn’t really apply to any real-world scenario. I simply used it as a fulcrum to make a comment, based on my own, real-world experience. I also used it to mention something that has a bit more relevance to the article, itself.
It applies to my hobby projects at least. Also - if nobody does it then there's a reason for that :)
"Multiple hours every day" was not an option.
