drdanz2717yThat's not completely true. We also work at night because that's the only time of the day when you don't get interrupted by stupid comments and questions.

For me it's one part "Shit need to fix deploy", one part "This new language/framework/feature is really interesting", and one part "I need to get my rating up in Overwatch"
But every night I end up brushing my teeth at 2:30am, so I arrive at work at 10:30 with a somewhat sleepy face.
I was scowling at myself because of that, but my boss was like: "would you be more productive if you were at the office at 8am? No? Then please find a rhythm that works for you."
So I'm at peace with it.

CogInTheWheel3I am starting to realise that there really is nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.

cozycodr7All to often I have trouble falling asleep because I can't stop thinking about my code.

nokkur5So I'm working on a computer vision project that grabs video from my webcam and detects faces in each frame. E...
Met colleague at work
Him: You programmers don't like sleeping at all. You should try to sleep and look fresh like me ... Blah blah blah... (You get the picture)
Me: *just smiles and watch him go*
(But what I really wanted to say)
Me: 'Well you know what, most programmers don't sleep much not because sleep deprivation is fun or we're in some kind of cult where it's some daily ritual. But when they need to send in an update; usually on a feature to make YOUR life easier OR just can't seem get their code to run right, and they keep telling themselves; "5 more minutes", "I have a good feeling about this modification" the minutes add up and before you realize it morning! And that's why some of us look like s*** in the morning'
(And then turn around to leave only to come back really quick like I just remembered something)
Me (again): "And don't think that we enjoy it. At least the ones I know don't. It's simply a fr****** work hazard!"
