Code drunk, debug sober. Bah! Just fixed three bugs after a pint of Tundra.
(This is in no way meant to be role model behaviour. There just happens to be a lovely pub by the seashore in Bray where you can sit outside and it’s a nice distraction in the evenings when the weather is good and I don’t feel I’ve done enough in the day* and need a change of scene.)
* It doesn’t help that I never think I’ve done enough in the day.
@aral I have written some amazing code between the hours of 1 and 4 in the morning. Seriously.
@MichaelTBacon Oh, I miss those days :)
@aral I wonder if you think the same about it tomorrow cheers!
And don't believe yourself if you think you did not do enough! Its usually not true. (I recommend having a work diary / worklog. I am often surprised how full it is after doing "Nothing" all day.)
@JohannaMakesGames Haha, indeed. (Or is it worse if you’re ok the day after?) :)
Yeah, I know. And I think I’m way better than I was. I’ve convinced myself that some day you do a little, some days more, and the most important thing is to keep making progress. Harder when sometimes it feels like absolutely no one on the planet gives a single damn what you’re making but, hey, it’s the road I’ve chosen apparently. Better than being applauded from all sides for mediocrity, that’s for sure :)
@JohannaMakesGames * some days, even (yeah, I know) :)
@aral I once coded after a particularly dank cone of green stuff and thankfully I never found any bugs in that program because it was about as legible as its corresponding compiler output.
