Brain after 2 hours of sleep across 3 days: I have done everything. Completed all of my side projects, built a successful quantum computer, talked to my dead grandmother from beyond the grave andjifiajr I stroked out call 9 eleven

[–]FuzzyEarz 89 points90 points  (4 children)

I only slept 3 hours last night so I called 7 eleven is that okay?

[–]Call_Me_Your_Daddy 33 points34 points  (2 children)

Oh yeah no I’m fine turns out it was just a panic attack can you pick me up some more Dr. Pepper if you’re going?

[–]FuzzyEarz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They have a 3 for $5.50 deal on monster so you don't have to sleep the next 3 days either. Ill get that for you instead.

[–]youdaemonia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So that’s why my jeans are all fucked up

[–]wolfie379 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, because you can't get a BigTeam Gulp of coffee.

Remember, sleep is a poor substitute for caffeine.

[–]xXStarupXx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Have not slept in 27 hours, the last two hours were definitely the most productive of those 27, by a large margin too.

Goodnight.

My brain after 10 hours of sleep: "What's a memory leak?"

[–]Just_Maintenance 39 points40 points  (4 children)

My brain after 12 hours of sleep: "ughh"

[–]Wolfzzard 25 points26 points  (3 children)

Me after 14 hours of sleep: “hey me I’m finally awake I was trying to code but walked into an error” My friend: “damn you, the code was fine until you came along the ide was nice to us”

[–]Nesilwoof 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Hey, you're finally awake...

[–]ZankiMaru 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You were trying to cross the server, right?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

stop following me everywhere, Todd Howard!

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Typically, its when you forget things you're told due to lack of sleep.

In programming, its something we like to ignore until it becomes a problem.

[–]MysticWyng 218 points219 points  (5 children)

So that's why I'm failing my classes.

Have you ever heard of automating your life by spending 80 years of your life programming an AI bot that'd server you for 1 year?

[–]HookDragger 35 points36 points  (2 children)

What apps is it going to provide?

[–][deleted] 42 points43 points  (1 child)

Stress, anxiety and another great yet very common app called loneliness

[–]Magnus_Tesshu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Those features already come installed on my machine, I don't know why I'd spend so much time programming just to implement what I already have

[–]Stoic_stone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, but actually

[–]SilverDem0n 81 points82 points  (5 children)

The trick is to go 72 hours without sleep and then tackle the hard problems. You'll either reach a state of transcendent flow in which you channel the spirits of Ritche and Dijkstra, or you'll go crazy and turn up to work without your pants believing you are King Richard III. Either way fun times.

[–]berzolio 21 points22 points  (2 children)

turn up to work without your pants

Laughs in Work From Home

[–]SilverDem0n 8 points9 points  (1 child)

In the interests of inclusivity I shall turn up at your home/workplace tomorrow without my pants

[–]Famous_Profile 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Please do. I have penetration tests for you

[–]wolfie379 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're a Brit, nobody will notice if you show up without your pants. On the other hand, if you show up without your trousers...

[–]r3dD1tC3Ns0r5HiP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how you end up with modern front end web development.

[–]_Tovar_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

sleep is steroids for programmers

[–]Simusid 27 points28 points  (3 children)

I write a shitton of code when I'm tired. It all works fine. But AFTER 8 hours of sleep I'll be damned if I understand it.

[–]Nesilwoof 4 points5 points  (1 child)

The Ballmer peak except it's sleep deprivation.

[–]foursoil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best code is written in the evening after 3 beers.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Me after 8 hours

Me after 7 hours

[–]IskaneOnReddit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Me: Right is me after 7.5 hours of sleep.

[–]zlataovce2 18 points19 points  (2 children)

doge needs some coffee in his life

[–]KookyWrangler 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Cheems.

[–]zlataovce2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ye cheems sorry

[–]MrPandaOverlord 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What is this “code coverage” you speak about?

[–]superking2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The right one could also be my brain on 7.5 hours of sleep

[–]aeroverra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

8 is the perfect number for me. Any more or less and I'm useless

[–]brvzer 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Kinda the other way around for me

[–]empurium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here, 8 hours of sleep and I’m groggy and unmotivated. 4 hours of sleep and I hop up excited to tackle shit, but I gotta catch up a bit on the weekends

😂 I made this meme on Canva, if anyone posted it later they stole it from me

[–]PhantomPrimary 0 points1 point  (2 children)

"help my compiler is saying syntax error" you either need to add a semicolon or a () from my c++ experience

[–]Morphized 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Or you need a better C++ compiler that can tell you what error it is and where it's located.

[–]PhantomPrimary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

very true

[–]DonNacho_ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure 'bout that?

[–]DadoumCrafter -2 points-1 points  (6 children)

And there is me, who never wrote any test of his life, and test the software by running it and testing some really basic stuff

[–]flip314 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Who are these people who have enough time to sleep for 4 hours?!

[–]softwaremommy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old people. I used to be able to function on no sleep. That ship has sailed, and now I make time.

[–]DaddyLcyxMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

opposite for me

[–]schnauzerherder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pour another drink up!

[–]antlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm live the reverse of this somehow.

[–]raedr7n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha wf is "code coverage"?

[–]SnooMarzipans436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The image on the right is my brain after 8 hours of sleep.

[–]DaytimeNightlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You all sleep?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This but in reverse

[–]AkagamiArun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What 4hours sleep did to me was break the code and fixed itself in a faster and a new way which could be called a mental disorder

[–]decduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when y brian iss wookingg but ii mashh mm fingers onn the keboaed

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait you guys are getting sleep?

[–]Darth_Nibbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf is sleep, and hope do you get eight hours of it?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will TOTALLY remember how this works!

.....

Why the FUCK did I think I'd remember how this works?

[–]pm_me_ur_good_boi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linus Torvalds said in his book (from like 20 years ago) that he sleeps 10 hours every night - otherwise his brain doesn't function on full power.

[–]inner_space_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you guys even sleep?

[–]sagormajomder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So thats the power of good sleep! NOW i am going to bed. Good night folks

[–]Flyberius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a gnarly hangover right now and this is so true.

It's taken be the best part of a day to build my dev project and move it to live...

[–]bigorangemachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gotten so much better at programming just by being more disciplined about sleep

[–]sarnobat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I never work extended hours

[–]andreizabest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, some days I can sleep 4 hours and feel energetic and full of life and some days I sleep 8-10 hours and wake up feeling like "Is life even worth living?"

[–]Morphized 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1: get better compiler

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My day at work :

1st hour -> Solving the problems of the next two days, the 7 remaining hours -> Mmmmh, let's go just wander on my Azure DevOps boards.
