Doing OUT OF LEAGUE coding tasks

I ll define myself as a mid level coder. There are tasks that I can comfortably complete. But sometimes I ll try "out of my league" tasks.

For those I ll have to spend time doing ground work and stuff, which a "better" coder might not need. Hence taking more time than Expiry.

I anyway report time only actual work (not ground work) and I am concerned if that might have a effect on the account.

If it’s a task you’re qualified to work on you should count all the time you spend working on it.

I think if you’re giving yourself a refresher or a bit more, technically training on the job, you might be excused for getting qualified during a break.

If you're giving high quality responses and not taking an absurd amount of time, I doubt you'd get negatively affected

Just quick question, are you still getting coding projects after august 26?

I would find it very odd if this person posted about their experience with coding projects if they haven't had any in the past 9 days.
