I think it's OK too.

Not just coding but other types of technical work might benefit from not ruling this out, especially creative or innovative efforts.

It can really make a difference depending on where you stand in a project environment.

For me it was pretty easy to accept with cargo work where the ships come in at any time 24/7.

Before I started my company I had already gone the extra mile like this for employers when it really made a difference.

So I knew what I was getting into beforehand, I used to say you can run a company OK during business hours alone, but building a company may be the best use of nights & weekends depending on the circumstances.

It took some time but doing it for my own self turned out better after all.

It's not exactly a "super power" but good to have in your arsenal, plus in the right situation you could direct all your focus migrating toward having a 24/7 business that hardly ever requires "after-hours" effort after a while.
