The corollary: code stoned, debug caffeinated, and document drunk.
- SatvikBeri 14y agoBut watch out for the Ballmer peak! I had one particularly bad period of crunch time where I was trying to code a 3-month project in 4 weeks, all while learning a new language/framework. One night, after several hours of being stuck I got sick of it and poured myself a rather large amount of bourbon. Now, I was rather naive when it came to alcohol. I thought the bourbon was 47 proof...turns out it was 47 percent. All I know is that the next day, building maintenance reported hearing singing all through the night, two weeks of snacks were gone, and I woke up in the office at 7 AM, and I found some of the most beautiful and well-written code I'd ever seen, accomplishing about 3 weeks of work in one weird night.
