I cannot agree more. (18 years developer here). On those days I just kept pushing, I mostly ended up correcting my poorly-created code the next day. When you know you're done, be done, or at least switch to the lowest mental energy task you can do. Sometimes staring into the screen is that lowest mental task.
- diggan 7y ago> Sometimes staring into the screen is that lowest mental task For the sake of your eyes (and perhaps well-being), don't just stare into the screen without doing anything. If you have a free moment, take your eyes off the screen and look out the window (or at nearest wall if you have none)
