Most days I don't ship 20 PRs. But I think my record is 30.

Three things made that possible.

The first, obviously, is having Command Center.

The second is that a lot of those were fixes or UX improvements under 100 lines.

The third is, no joke, not sleeping. I've had quite a few 20+ hour days in the last 6 months. Some of that is work pressure, but also I've considered getting evaluated for a broken circadian rhythm.

> I'd be curious to see some of those PRs if you're saying you've essentially solved the holy paradox of "ship fast = shit code" or "ship slow = good code".

If you're serious, I'll be happy to get on a call and show you.

Thanks for explaining, I still have my doubts about the actual quality, but I'm also I'm also very open to be proven wrong! It has happened before, bound to happen again at some point or another :)

Heh, personally I fixed this by just adopting the sleep cycle my body wants of going to bed at 04:00/05:00 and going up at 11:00/12:00, life is much better now when I just accept it. One approach if your life can allow it :)

Very much so, obviously prefer something async if possible, just a .patch file could suffice I suppose, but could do a call to have a look if that's the only way :) Reach out to my email from my profile and we can coordinate :)

That was my life in my mid-late 20's.

But as I've gotten older, my sleep schedule has only gotten more messed up. Now I consider it a victory if I manage to go to sleep before the dawn.
