Involved in development with pretty insane schedules, 14-18+ hrs/day pretty often and weird as it sounds enjoying my activity immensely. Marijuana keeps me focused at times without a single Alt+Tab for most of the day. Far from ideal or healthy and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone however truth be told there's also a perennial race against time, if I'd be to stop the company would probably grind to a halt. Never talked about this with anyone and would never even dare interacting with people in public in an altered state of mind but luckily we're a decentralized team. I'm also conscious about the bad part of this being gradual social retreat/isolation and inability of engaging with people at chit-chat/informal level. In my case though satisfaction from seeing an algorithm flying is just too great - but I'm also lucky of having a really supportive (non-smoker) partner, life without this aspect would most probably look much much different. |
