Ask HN: Tricks to integrate late coding session in current workflow?
Hi everyone,
We're under quite a lot of pressure lately to finish a project by the end of Feb. Probably like a lot of you guys, I'm at best when I'm "in the flow" which often leads me to code till 3
am - 4am.
The problem is that if in my early twenties I used to be able to recover over only a few hours sleep for the next day, it seems like it is impossible for me right now (early 30's).
1/ Do you have any tricks or tips to ease the recover and have a somehow normal day after a late coding session?
I know that this approach while somehow good for work purposes is disastrous for health on the long run so:
2/ What tricks/tips do you use during your working day to minimize interruptions (so you could go at least 1/2 way "in the flow") ?
