Anyone else find the eat sleep code hacker / soylent chugging caffeine energized all nighter coder beast idea immature? I run into people who think that those ideals are what makes a good engineer and it irks me. Maybe I'm just too judging.

Coding is great and more practice is always good for your skills, but there's way more to life. Those people tend to not have a healthy work/life balance

I do this now.
I'm trying to move toward waking up earlier. Like the rest of the business world.

Fuck all that noise. When its time to sleep, this ninja sleeps.

Fuck caffeine. I used to drink that once, then after some years I have developed a panic disorder. Anyone using too much caffeine, stop! Sleep will be your friend ;)

Yep. Along with hackathons overnight and/or on the weekend. Hey I have a life over here! It might involve some code but often not.

Had that life, got depressed, became a social outcast, then realized my situation. I started going out alone to overcome my shyness, started lifting weights, made many friends, and suddenly had a date every week. Now I have a great job, mindset, and girlfriend.
