    Alternatively, the first three panels could be answering 734 emails, 6383 slack messages, and avoiding two required trainings.

      no distractions…
      one metaphor i heard is, holding a program in your head is like building a house of cards, every time a phone rings or something breaks your concentration, you have to rebuild the house

        Holy moley.

        I guess this is why programmers generally don’t do construction.

        I’ve been working remotely from Barcelona for three months… My hours are 3pm to 11pm local time, it’s fucking bliss.

      Some people are more diurnal, some are more nocturnal.

      My productivity peak is between 8PM and 11PM, but with kids this is impossible.

    Coding at night with the lights off makes you feel like one of the cool movie hackers.

    This isn’t my experience. I’m way more focused in the morning and then it’s all downhill after lunch. By the time it’s the evening I have zero motivation to do any code.

      Yeah that’s about how I feel too. Mostly because I take my ADHD meds in the morning, and afternoon is about where they wear off.

      My best focus is before lunch and before the end of the day.

      Very much the same for me. I don’t enjoy getting up early but my brain works best if I get to the office at 7ish for some reason. After lunch I basically roll down hill. I seldomly feel any will do do any coding after having spent 8h doing just that

    Been trying to understand why I’m like this and I’m noticing the minute the sun starts going down , I become more focused.

    I think this is because the sun is no longer a massive glaring ball of gas my brain has to manage.

    I can’t tell if my hypothesis has any scientific validity but it’s what I tell my managers.
