In my 17 years as a software developer, I’ve pulled exactly zero all-nighters.

Don’t let anyone tell you they’re necessary. If you’re thinking of pulling one voluntarily, don’t, and if your boss asks you to pull an all-nighter, quit on the spot.

If you feel that all-nighters are necessary for your job, you have the wrong job. Your own physical and mental health are vastly more important than your employer’s revenue and profit.

Don’t allow capitalists to deprive you of essentials, like sleep.

@lapcatsoftware I have done some all nighters but never for a company. I consider my own software writing as art, and sometimes I am more inspired when everybody other sleeps.
But I agree, a company has not the right to ask for it. It's not a sustainable business.
