Me: “It’s okay to be awake at 3 AM since I’m getting a head start by thinking about the code I need to write”
Then a handful of hours later, reality ensues
Just saying…you never have to compile your dream code.
Obviously the trick is to sleepcode.
A few weeks ago, I got stuck on a difficult bug. Worked on it all day on it at work and just couldn’t figure it out.
That night, I dreamed about the solution! When I woke up I wrote some notes about the solution from my dream, went to work, coded it, and it worked!
I literally keep a laptop next to my bed so when i think up a solution for whatever problem i’m working on i can make a note about it. It’s not pretty but it works.
Just a simple note? Why dont you use your phone, maybe?
Or a pen and paper.
It syncs to my main computer and phone is the main reason. (And i hate typing a lot on my phone.)
it’s worse when the solutions to your current problems taunts you in your dreams
I solve all my hardest problems while in the halfway state between awake and asleep.
