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 @tylersticka completely agree! However I think it’s worth noting that some people don’t have the financial stability or privilege to quit on the spot. Those who can should and those who can’t should seek a new role asap
@DavidDarnes @lapcatsoftware Completely fair point
@tylersticka @lapcatsoftware don’t get me wrong though, working out of my hours in the past has immediately caused me to start job hunting
