Why programmers are so "fond" of the Moon and the Dark Night

There have been programmers because of the sudden death of the news shocked the circle, but also as people gossip about the conversation for a few days. The programmer's state of work has not changed so much that he continues to stay up late. In the Internet, there is a phenomenon, is also seen as normal phenomenon: programmers, geek all like to stay up late, but also in the night after the unusually high efficiency. Is it not that these programmers like to stay up late and like to work in the silent, pitch night of the moon?

A girl asked me, why do academics sleep so late, only to the evening to have inspiration? No, girl, academic not rely on inspiration, relying on a mediocre day caused by the guilt of the heart. Maybe programmers, Geek, too.

Netizen: Stay Up late is forced, again not is, habit.

My old boss life motto is: People who have not been in class do not deserve to talk about life.

I have always admired the efficiency of the time I saw it was very unfavorable, but I have seen the side of the procedures to work hard, so understand why they like to stay up the life.

First, technology development too fast, need to recharge and think at any time

The rapid development of the Internet, the software industry is changing rapidly, so programmers need to maintain an enterprising, learning a lot of new things. Therefore, the time spent on this is a lot of cases from the silent, pitch night.

As the creator of abstract systems, programmers need a lot of mental input, the whole block of continuous time to think, programmers do not want to be disturbed when the work, if the idea is interrupted the consequences are very serious.

Second, the daytime temporary task is many, cannot concentrate on writing the procedure

Before a programmer is also a company network management, the company that Internet computer A little bit of trouble called him. The programmer was spinning like a gyro during the day and was being called on by us, but the programmer was very good-natured and not bored at all (I think if I had lost my temper already). Like this, during the day a time a QQ, a will, a message, a will to receive courier, a test run came to report the bug, a product come to the meeting, the time of day is fragmented, the program is simply full of bugs.

Project busy that period of time, often heard that he often stay up four or five o'clock in the morning, so only awe and admiration left!

Third, the unexpected situation is many, ready to stand by

In the eyes of the boss or project manager, only concerned about the progress of the project, the efficiency of the problem, they do not care about what time the programmer off.

1, 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the project boss said, after work we open a progress meeting. Balalba: It's 12 o'clock to go home.

2, today's products on-line, midnight. The morning dragged the tired body home, 6 o ' clock alarm woke up, and had to get up to work, or be late;

3, close to work, colleagues report system problems, slow response, hurriedly board machine to check the bug. Look for a check to 11 points, tinkering and change to close to 1 o'clock in the morning.

.......

So in the work, especially in the project, programmers encounter a variety of unexpected situations, temporary meetings, prominent bugs, system problems and so on can not work normally. So programmers are accustomed to staying up late and working overtime. So a synthesis, the programmer at night in a convenient work, accustomed to work, but also accustomed to late to sleep an environment, it is considered like staying up late life.

PS: Doctors with various titles say staying up late is bad for the body. Programmers are the people who change the world with code, and they don't know the simple truth that staying up late is bad for the body. It's just that they're programmers, and their identities are so special.
