The tons of looks and odd comments bug the shit out of me. Being an engineer, my job is to produce, period. Don't worry about where it happens, just know that every time you pick up the phone and promise something that doesn't exist to someone else, the fact that it suddenly, magically, exists for you to show them is because people like me are plugging away around the clock. Dev work isn't 9-5. It's 24/7 and whenever the light bulb goes off.

well.. yes and no. you aren't developing in a vacuum unless you're the only dev in the company, and even in that case you'd have some coordination to do. drives me nuts when I need to run something by a dev and he's gone at 2 pm and I need to wait till he gets into the beer-induced code rage mode at 10 pm and even then he might be on slack or maybe not :)

Just wondering what would you do if you need to run something by a Dev at, say, 5PM. Or 7. Or 10 in the night? Or at 2am, when Asia woke up to a big change-request/bug/whatever?

My response would be to do the same at 2.

This isn't an angry rant - I just had a large cup of coffee so I'm in my "no bullshit" mode :)
