I'd rather have a colleague come in to work drunk than pull an all-nighter to work on core functionality. Yes, we really need to get this thing improved as soon as possible, but having effectively brain-damaged people introduce bugs all night and then be utterly useless the next day is not helping. Take your financial lumps and get over it instead of burning out everyone and ruining the codebase. These kind of masochistic hero stories perpetuate the destructive belief that every hour your face is planted in front of the monitor is equally productive.
