This, I've basically never felt external pressure from management or deadlines in my job.
I have however, on more than one occasion, found myself up far too late (or in the pre-pandemic times having nearly missed the last bus home) because I just want to figure out what is causing this damn bug. It could wait until tomorrow, no one would care if I waited until tomorrow, there is no pressure for me to fix it today. But I want to solve the problem.
- pram 5y agoYeah same. Once I’m on a certain train of thought I can’t stop. Those are the days where I have 5am commits because I never went to bed lol No one is demanding I do that though. They’d probably think I’m crazy tbh
- lostcolony 5y agoCrazy? Maybe. Shooting yourself in the foot? Definitely. The number of times I stepped away from a problem after hammering at it for a couple of hours, took a break, got some sleep, and came back to it and solved it in < 30 minutes is...solidly in the double digits by this point. You may find yourself better served forcing yourself to step away; you may find you get an answer with less work, and take better care of yourself.
