You know what I am talking about. It happens to us all at some point.
Oh no it doesn’t, you’re just being silly/bragging/etc.
No. It will happen if it hasn’t already so just shut up and listen.
The Night Before
You’re working on a project, it’s late at night, you can barely function, so you close the lid on your Macbook and go to sleep. A meer fifteen minutes later and you’re coding again. How is this possible? You’re not at your computer anymore. You’re off in la la land and yet the project you’re working on continues to consume your subconscious.
Suddenly, at 3am, you spring out of bed, open up Textmate, and write in some code, relaunch your application and sometimes it works perfectly, other times the foos and bars don’t line up properly so you start trying to fix it. Next thing you know it’s 5am and you need to wake up for work in an hour. Then you get back into bed, angry at yourself for ruining your sleep, and get out of bed an hour later, shower, head into work a complete zombie.
