I've been at the office until the wee hours of the morning.

I don't know how people can still write coherent code at that point. My mind starts tripping under its own weight at the four-five hour mark. I usually can't make it past 2 or 3 hours without a break. Those times when I was hacking away like I was doing something so important that the world just couldn't wait for it... well I'm pretty sure I was at that office so late simply fixing the stupid mistakes I was making just hours before because I was too bleary-eyed, tired, uncomfortable, and frustrated to be effectively working.

In a few years you may or may not realize that there's more to life and that you won't get your youth back.

"I don't know how people can still write coherent code at that point." - they don't and that is a problem

So don't write code - do something that requires less focus and creativity, but is still productive.

In my case, the reason I'm still at the office is because I need to write code. This is dysfunctional.
