What kind of work place would be against 3am commits? “look how dedicated Johnny is. He was working at 3am!”

  Not even the workplace I just don't want to have that conversation. Because - yes you finished that up at 3am and it's working and you are happy in the moment but you know well enough that the praise is also some expectation that you are always there at 3am when there is a problem. It's also - if raised in public a big fuck you to your colleagues - look this guy works deep at night - what are you doing? Well.. I just tried to solve that fucking problem, leave me alone and leave my colleages out of it.

  As the lead developer here, I would be very against that except in an emergency. We don't currently allow remote work, and I strongly discourage overtime for salaried employees. (We don't pay overtime, but even if we did, I'd discourage it still.) If we did allow remote work, I know my bosses would be against 3am commits because they value being able to talk to the devs and ask questions and solve problems with immediate feedback. So they aren't going to like 3am commits either, because they'd mean that the dev wasn't available during normal hours. So my answer would be: Workplaces that value collaboration and work-life balance.
