I know, the feeling of solitude, concentration, flow, and energy -- to say nothing of rebelliousness for defying societal norms -- of staying up late, it's just great.

I've always had my greatest thoughts and best ideas at night. I've always crushed projects and invented great things at night.

Luckily, my employers have also been very accommodating of this as well because I _produce_. My boss didn't even raise an eyebrow when I showed up at 1 PM. I remember staying at work and being the only car left in the parking lot with my team's best engineers for nights on end.

It was great, and we were accomplishing things that nobody else in the company even came close to pulling off at the time.




My dream is to go to work ~2:00 every day. My sleep cycle is pure hell otherwise.
