Does anyone here enjoy coding after a few drinks? I don't do this often but on a Friday evening if I feel the fancy to work late and am working on a known problem space-- I pour myself a couple of shots on gin, mix with a bit of lemonade and code away.
I get a lot done in this state as I am purely churning out code rather than constantly second guessing myself, looking for a more optimal ways of doing it or refactoring the code I have written every few mins to improve class/package structure, variable names and so on. Obviously I would never merge to master after a session of intoxicated coding.
And this code looks better than you think on a Monday morning when sober.
- jmkni 5y agoI once came home after a work night out, and started coding on...erm..something. I remember thinking at the time that I was onto something brilliant, only to excitedly pick it back up the next day and look at my code and realize it completely indecipherable. I don't even know what my idea was lol

- katzgrau 5y agoNot anymore, but when I did, I've taken on some hairy tasks that were otherwise overwhelming and the code just flows. Didn't work all the time though - sometimes I'd just be noticeably tired and stupid. And when I hit my 30s that tended to happen more often than not so I hung it up. Now, with a good night's sleep, the very early morning hours (5am) is when I can get the flow state consistently.
