Needs to be 2am.. else nothing gets done!

So true! 🤔

As a programmer I can relate. Can you? :)))

There was a time when I laughed at "I work because I wanna buy games but I can't play them because I work". There was.

Had 4-5 hours of sleep last night because I had to wake up early this morning for an internal demo of the feature I worked on. It was scheduled early morning because the boss was busy.

I come to the office looking like a zombie, practically sleep walking my way to the office, and guess what... The app server is down! Yay.

I had to reschedule it to right in the middle of lunch time because hey... The boss is busy. Now everyone in the team hates me for ruining their lunch.

Now I'm sitting here, staring at my code, remembering the sweet luxury of sleep.

When it's 5AM, you had zero sleep and your deadline is in 3 hours: Oh loard my saviour php, please - PLEASE just let my peace of shit code work for once. *reloads page*
Error message appears. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCK!

A very rudimentary bedroom project management system. Each note is a different section of the program I'm working on.

I do this at night to make extra money, so it's not exactly the best system. It works though.

Have a visual representation of progress somehow motivates me.

It's 2:10 AM on a Friday night.
Well played "cordova ionic".

Fuck you too :'(

"Just one more minute of scrolling devRant, then I'll go to sleep!"
*sees morning light outside*

So... I had this assignment. I was chill, had plenty of time, so I wasted hours playing videogames and also spent some learning programming. Then, at 3 am, after spending 2 hours leveling my first character in runescape, I gaze through the clock on my pc and notice the date was the 9th, the assignment was due tomorrow! SHIT

I RUSHED TO WORK AND SPENT THE WHOLE NIGHT CODING (it was for a programming class I took at the uni) HOURS OF HOURS OF STUPID MISTAKES MADE OUT OF SLEEPYNESS.

Until I made it.

I send the assignment, everything is cool. I watch the clock a last time before going to bed and fuck! The clock was in mm/dd/yyyy format! Don't know how the fuck it changed itself and how the fuck I didn't notice there was something wrong with the date. I still had 5 days remaining :(

May I request the world to get their shit together and choose just one global date format?

PS: my normal date format is dd/mm/yyyy

I work in a bitcoin startup , my fucking boss really wants everyone to use ubuntu because of security and all , the bad thing is i am the only guy who knows how to install and deal with it , so when any one joins or has some problem he always bugs me and the thing is i am an android developer not a sys admin and now he fucking want to get 2 factor in ubuntu desktops when they log in

When you open tens of stack overflow tabs just to find out that you had misspelled something super simple!

29 hours straight. From a thursday morning at 8 to friday around lunch at 13. No sleep at all.

A coworker became a dad a week before, so now I had to complete his data migration project. Had not been involved in the project at any point until his son was born.

But I made it and got a bonus in the end👍🏻

Wi-Fi down due to thunderstorms.
Me: Aah...time to get some sleep maybe !

So I was waiting on a mysqldump for over a halfhour wondering why it was taking way to fcking long.

But then I saw I typed mysql -u user -p database > dump.sql

Instead of using the mysqldump command xD at moments like this you realize how important sleep is xD

Tonight I spent 5 hours installing arch. After seeing everything go smoothly I do the final reboot, only to watch the grub command line appear on the screen. I tried to boot into my arch installation but it kept talking about kernels missing and stuff. I thought I learned a ton but Fuck me. Now I'm installing neon kde just so I have my fucking linux desktop ready. Maybe someday I'll make it...

I have this thing where I really want to code something, but I don't know where to start. So I end up alt-tabbing through vs code, r/nosleep, facebook, and r/mechanicalkeyboards and then cursing my 'lack of time' as the reason I can not make any cool stuff.

When you get to your projects and then you go to bed pretty late, just to realize how many hours of sleep you'll get.. :/

Can anyone else relate?

Me at 9 pm working on a project: this will only take a couple minutes...

Me a few minutes later: fuck, it's three in the morning...

And that's why I have sleep issues.

I'm thinking of getting rid of 6 - 8 hrs straight sleep with polyphasic sleep cycle to increase productivity.

Anyone here follow this? Any tips or opinions about this?

I can't wait to experience the joy of trying to implement a neural network to identify shapes in under a week....

I have forgotten how to sleep anymore. Idk if it's a good thing or a bad one. Either way, I get extra hours to code. xD

Have a hackathon starting in 12 hours and have no ideas rn. Kinda freaking out, so would love it if you guys could help me out with some ideas! My team includes 3 computer science juniors, and we've worked with Java, Python and frontend and backend web dev frameworks.

24 hours of being awake. At Work. Struggling to focus. Using DevRant infusions to keep myself alive.
