What was your longest coding session?
-
30 years ago, I once sat down an wrote a flat DB style coding library. I did not stop or sleep for three days (72+ hours). When it was finished, and fully tested, I finally crashed. It took me another 3 or 4 days to fully recover from that incident. Being occasionally obsessive compulsive does have it draw backs. ;) I have not and do not ever intend to break that record. :zzz:

Y'know, I just don't get this. I've stayed up 'til 0100 or so a few times, but never an all-nighter, never a 72-hour binge. My brain can't usually do code after about 10 PM. I do get up in the morning, go to work, and start straight in on coding again after 6 hours of sleep.

I've been coding non-stop for over 40 years. When I'm on a roll, I code for about 18 hours at a pop, 7 days a week. I think I pump out more code than any person has a right to...
