If I’m working on a side project, it’s usually a challenge that keeps me up at night. Like a really interesting problem. Maybe it’s a problem I faced everyday at work, and nobody wants to fix it. Sometimes it’s a prove them wrong attitude, other times it’s a “hmm will this work”.. and that pattern is kind of what keeps me motivated. I just want to see it work. And I think about it all the time. When it comes to execution, morning is the best time. Nights are for reading and thinking. New feature? I think about the architecture as I fall asleep. Laptop stays under my bed, when I wake up, I just sit up and get right into it. Just run. (sometimes I get carried away and am late for work)
