    Me: “It’s okay to be awake at 3 AM since I’m getting a head start by thinking about the code I need to write”

    Then a handful of hours later, reality ensues

      A few weeks ago, I got stuck on a difficult bug. Worked on it all day on it at work and just couldn’t figure it out.

      That night, I dreamed about the solution! When I woke up I wrote some notes about the solution from my dream, went to work, coded it, and it worked!

    I literally keep a laptop next to my bed so when i think up a solution for whatever problem i’m working on i can make a note about it. It’s not pretty but it works.

    In the last few years I started actively trying to stop myself from thinking about company code (and other work stuff too) when I’m not at work. You know, work life balance and all that. Did wonders to my mental health.

    No coding at work! Only meetings! What do you think we’re paying you for?
