I feel like the question is wrong.
I used to run a profitable one-person online business. And I felt miserable every time I had to get up at night to fix server issues, or when I had to do customer support from my laptop while I was supposed to be on vacation instead.
Now that we're a team, I feel so much better about the whole thing, even though profit margins are slightly lower than before.

- lightning19 6y agoI work for a large ISP as a software dev and still have to wake up at 11am to fix server issues, I also got called to fix something on Dec 31 while I was on leave. I'd rather be working after hours for myself than for my a-hole boss
- mmmmmbop 6y agoWhile I don't know your usual sleep schedule, waking up at 11am does not sound too bad to me.
- vb6sp6 6y agoI know quite a few people who answer emails on vacation and who do on call rotations at their "normal" jobs. So I think part of the appeal of these types of questions is that the individual gets to reap the benefits of their extraordinary effort instead of passing the profit upstream.
