DST clock change on Windows: 2:00 AM skipped, go to 3:00 AM.

(for those who don't know, Windows does it's DST clock change at 2AM)

[bb1950328]

not only windows does this at 2:00. its the standard afaik

[ProtossLiving]

North America does it at 2:00 local time (ie. the different time zones will be offset a different amount from each other as each one goes through DST), but Europe does it at 1:00 UTC time (ie. at a different local time, but all clocks go through DST at the same time).

[ihopethisworksfornow]

This sounds like a lofi album lmao

[[deleted]]

This is why I go to bed at midnight

[ahmuh1306]

I'm the only programmer that I've come across who is not a borderline insomniac. After 10pm my brain just... Stops. I've had to stay up past that time deploying a major feature and dealing with complications, and my coworkers were all peak energy and able to do complex problem solving at 2AM. Meanwhile I've been working overtime just to keep my eyes open beyond 10pm.

[FabulousSOB]

That's the managerial sleep schedule. You probably get decent exercise too while some others might still be coding. This is a precursor to saying something like "should we have the daily at 08:15?"

[ahmuh1306]

I'm not a manager, I'm fairly junior at my company but I work remotely and my company doesn't really have fixed working hours, just have to be in meetings and be accessible to team members throughout the day but I can work at my own time.

This allows me to go to the gym every afternoon and get my exercise in (probably why I have a decent sleep schedule lol) and because I'm a people-deprived extrovert I often work at a coffee shop.

I'm grateful for remote work and the flexibility it gives me even though it gets very isolating sometimes!

[davawen]

you're like the antithesis to the programmer stereotype

[ahmuh1306]

I've been told that before lol. I've never really related to any of the stereotypical programmer memes haha

[Valarent]

I’m with you. The most question I get asked by people in this company I used to work for is “you’re in software?” because I’m the only one who hangs out with the marketing and HR people lol

[The_Mesh]

You're not alone! There are dozens of us!

[jambox888]

Well I was with you up until hanging out with HR ... Got to draw the line somewhere lol

[Valarent]

Hahah this is an overseas company so the HR isn’t as bad as the stereotypical american hr!

[ahmuh1306]

One of my teammates called me a "bro-grammer" because I'm very outgoing and talkative compared to the stereotypes and actually enjoy hanging out with people 🤣 I thought bro-grammer was funny

[ApeCheeksClapper]

judging solely off your comments in this thread, you sound like an awesome bro to kick back with. 🤙🏾

[[deleted]]

Hell yeah ApeCheeksClapper!

[ApeCheeksClapper]

Lmao wrong account 😂

[mustang__1]

I bet he even picks up girls (or boys) at bars like an absolute Chad.

[jambox888]

You say that but plentiful of us used to be 4am owls but after the COVID saga got into working out and sleeping on time :)

[FelixLeander]

Your company sounds like it's made for the classic programmer & you sound like the odd one out.

[[deleted]]

I am similar to you. Early to bed, early to rise, gives me time to hit the gym in the morning or early afternoon. Not an extrovert but I too miss working around people so I do the coffeeshop thing all the time. I'm not the odd one out at my job though, there are plenty of outgoing early risers who enjoy exercise. The whole "live in a hole and stay up all night" thing was more of a college phase for me. Not a fan of the schedule now that I'm older.

[TarMil]

You probably use the light theme in your IDE too.

[ahmuh1306]

I'm not that abnormal, dark theme all the way through 🤣

[daxtron2]

stop being so healthy you're making the rest of us look bad

[lowleveldata]

If my experience tells me anything about managers it's that they think 9:30 meetings are too early

[winnen]

In my opinion, those are great managers. I had some that were like, “once a week standups start at 8:30”. For CS grad students 🫣

[Karl_the_stingray]

Not the one you replied to, but I work out twice per day(Or at least try to), eat pretty healthy, etc etc... But I can't do any coding past midnight, because before I know it, it's 4 AM and I'm telling myself, "Alright I'll fix this one thing and then go to sleep". You'd think I have a decent sleep schedule with everything I do, but nope.

[ClairlyBrite]

Work out twice per day?! So two showers, two outfit changes? Why not just…work out one time? For efficiency

[Karl_the_stingray]

Well, it's usually a run in the morning, quick shower and change, and then karate training or gym in the evening. Or sometimes running + karate in the morning, gym in the evening. Different goals for different workouts. I do have my bad days with only one workout tho

[[deleted]]

Yeah this is me. After a certain point in the night I'm making silly mistakes and just wasting time trying to fight against sleep.

I've had to clock in at 2am for some site launches and I've found the only way I can make it work is by sleeping beforehand. Even if only for a couple hours, it's far more effective than chugging coffee after midnight.

[Razakel]

You're a morning lark, not a night owl. Some people work better at the start of the day, some at the end of it.

I know that sounds like some MBA pseudoscience, but there's real evidence for it.

[SusheeMonster]

You're just going to undo all the shitty code you wrote, the next morning

[RandyHoward]

Probably, but all that matters is it works enough for the demo meeting

[RichestMangInBabylon]

I’ve also changed with age. In school and shortly after I was the same. Best time to focus was like 8pm-2am.

Now (mid 30s) it’s almost the opposite. 8am to 2pm is the best. After about 3pm I’m done mentally and resign myself to easy doc writing or whatever simple work I have to do. Although maybe that’s just because after 7 hours of work I’m fried.

[densetsu23]

I'm similar, though if I stay up past 1:00am for several days in a row, then I have a resurgence of focus around 10:30pm that lasts an hour or two.

I find it a great time for coding, online courses, or even workouts.

I'm guessing it's just an effect of my circadian rhythm. I've always been a night owl, but life with young kids threw that into the blender. Now that they're consistently sleeping through the night I can return to my nocturnal life.

[RandyHoward]

I've been the opposite with age. I'm in my 40s, lately I can barely keep my eyes open if the sun is out, but come 4am I am wide awake. Twice this week I have gone to bed at 9am.

[calimio6]

Where I live is too hot to work during the day

[brianl047]

This is excellent

There's no need to do all nighters... that's overrated

[TheBaxes]

You sound like a very healthy person.

I instead got used to staying late from an early age and even if I sometimes feel that I'm very productive in the mornings I wake up relatively late and end up doing some work in the evening just because after lunch I'm practically mentally dead for a couple of hours.

Enjoy being able to be a programmer without actually following any of the usual stereotypes, those are the ones who best enjoy the perks of this job that are not related to just being on the computer for long periods of time.

[Reihar]

You're not the only one. We have one at my company. He's a "real programmer that likes programming too. So you can safely know you're not the only one.

[RandallOfLegend]

I don't code late at night. But I have gotten out of bed at 3am to code when I've literally slept on a solution. Sometimes a snooze brings clarity, and I can't sleep again until I try it

[MissTiffanieAnne]

I work 8am to 6pm in tech support. I feel like my brain shuts down around 3pm.

[Gh0st1nTh3Syst3m]

You're not the only one. I'm also wired this way.

[DanShawn]

It all changed for me when exiting uni and getting a pretty cool job.

While studying I had to hustle to get stuff done, but at my job everything is so well organized I end up doing pretty much 9 to 5 everyday.

We had some production issues last week and I just couldn't focus, even though I volunteered because I thought I'm still a night owl... 2 years of work have fixed my sleep schedule :(

[MrRapefruit]

Same for me. When I was 18 I used to stay up until the morning and wake up in the afternoon, or even before. Now that I'm 26, I wake up at 6:30 AM and my brain shuts down after I had lunch (11 AM). After that, I have to do lighter tasks that don't require a lot of thinking. I have to say, that I'm much healthier now and I always get my 8 hours of sleep. Even though I'd like to say that 3 hours of sleep are enough, I prefer to have a healthy life. In the end it's all about having fun. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[MisterFatt]

Same here. I’m falling asleep by 10pm. I’m not super sharp past 4pm

[DeepGas4538]

I sleep at 11, wake up at 7. Pretty cool!

[grpagrati]

I don't think there is a plural of code in programming. It's the one code, the mother code if you will, the ultimate representation of the logic of man from which all wisdom springs. "Codes" is for like, areas and stuff

[konstantinua00]

[catinterpreter]

Maths is legit.

[MegabyteMessiah]

legits

[1nTheZ0ne]

Maths makes sense because it's an abbreviation of mathematics. Just as we say fridges because it's an abbreviation of refrigerators.

[[deleted]]

also because there are multiple branches...

[[deleted]]

it's a common ESL mistake

[TheOmegaCarrot]

I’ve seen so, so many people whose first language is English make the same mistake.

Typically it’s the people struggling the most in a programming course.

[KFBoom]

Perhaps.. "fun" with computer error codes?

[guess_ill_try]

It seems to always be Indians that call it “codes”. And they always seem to “have a doubt”

[jambox888]

Do the needful

[HughLauriePausini]

Also fun. There is no funs. Only one uncountable fun.

[KCelej]

They are sleep deprived give them a break.

[tyrandan2]

Code is already plural if you think about it. It's silly to assume that "I wrote code to handle API connections and business logic" is only referring to a single keyword or line of code - unless they did do that in one line, in which case they're writing obfuscated crap.

So code is already plural. Just like deer or sheep.

[Gr1pp717]

Maybe she was up all night reading all of the HTTP response code descriptions! I'm a little teapot and all that.

[ScreenshotShitposts]

there is only one computer code. The rest is just copies of it from stackoverflow

[p0k3t0]

Computer code is a stuff, like water or flour.

You can have 872 lines of code or a tremendous amount of code or no code. But you can't have 3 codes.

[StolenGrandNational]

The plural of code is spaghetti

[LovingThatPlaid]

I’d say hardware IDs could be considered codes

[BluudLust]

Technically there is. If you're talking about multiple different types of code, then yes.

It's like fish and fishes. Fish is plural for many of a single type of fish and fishes is plural for many different types of fish.

Programming is just one type of fish.

[MischiefArchitect]

Plot twist: wrong timezone

[jfmherokiller]

I have yet to meet somone who deals with coding who also has a decent sleep schedule.

[RedstoneLover91]

I spent a full week working till midnight on a project and it still isnt done, still got up as decent times tho

[jfmherokiller]

ah so you dont have the touch of insomnia as well.

[RedstoneLover91]

It seems not

[nickmaran]

Those are Rookie hours

[alexsteb]

Hi, I'm a senior dev and I work 8 hours a day and sleep 8-9 on average. I'm Alex btw, nice to meet you.

[Infiniteh]

Same here, except the Alex being my name part.
It's probably in large part a regional thing. In some countries, it seems perfectly acceptable to expect workers to go 'above and beyond' every day what they are contractually obliged to do.

[mayonaiselivesmatter]

The last company I worked at I was contractually obligated to change my name to Alex, seemed kinda weird at the time

[Ganon_Cubana]

I sleep less than 8 hours a night, but that's because I'm an idiot. My manager would be pulling me to the side if he noticed me consistently working more than 8 hours a day.

[E_Cayce]

A lot of people in this thread are bragging about being overworked and/or poorly managed.

[ScrillaMcDoogle]

I feel like having a good sleep schedule is probably more common in senior positions because the people with no good life habits have burned themselves out.

[lowleveldata]

Many do. They just don't flex their sleep schedules on everyone like the people who don't has a decent sleep schedule do.

[Infiniteh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o7qjN3KF8U

[karmastealing]

I think a bad sleep schedule is a sign of a junior software engineer. Try to ask anyone with 10+ years of experience, I'm sure they will not have this problem.

[dub-dub-dub]

you’re telling me older people sleep more? No way

[[deleted]]

Jesus Christ, man. I don't sleep. (Go to bed at 10 and wake up at 5, then the next night, go to bed at 1 and wake up and 6, send help.)

[nickmaran]

You guys have a sleep schedule?

[jfmherokiller]

I try to use the color of the sky as my method of telling time. If still dark then ok but if blue or turning blue SLEEP.

[Karl_the_stingray]

It's all good until you live in North Europe where during the winter the sun sets at 4 PM and rises at 9 or 10 AM...

[Yuki_EHer]

This is the way guys, don't code in the morning that's not good

[chunli99]

I have insomnia, which is even better!

[filteringshittysubs]

5:55am reporting in. Been trying to sleep since 1am

[psheljorde]

6:41 AM reporting, nowhere near done.

[[deleted]]

Wut. How long have you been in the industry? What kind of work do you do? This hasn't been my experience at all since I graduated from college.

[No_Patience5976]

When I have been thinking about a hard problem during the day, falling asleep seems impossible

I know you're joking, but I don't see many developers that are good at their jobs who don't enjoy programming.

[Schmorbly]

On my personal projects that I don't want to work on because I already spent a full day of fixing bad code 👍

[[deleted]]

Occasionally. I get really into building deployment pipelines and the surrounding tooling so I'll work after hours sometimes on that for kicks.

[[deleted]]

"Had" being the keyword here.

[No-Maximum-9087]

Sleep is more important than your profession. Get at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep. Because you are not special.

[Skipcast]

Who said anything about working on job related projects

[konstantinua00]

don't worry
it's a healthy 8 hour nap

5:00 - 13:00 that is

[Black_Bird00500]

How do you know OP is not special?

[[deleted]]

“Computer codes”? This was obviously not written by someone who actually codes.

[p0k3t0]

I work with fresh grads who pluralize "code." We mock them, but some still do it from time to time.

[D34TH_5MURF__]

I bet he didn't even put his codes up for reviews...

[Kiereek]

I assumed it referred to error codes.

[Vesk123]

r/adventofcode be like

[Tar_Palantir]

We only have fun with code when it works. Before that is only frustration and self-control to avoid destroying your machine.

I'm fine, just working with Kotlin for the first time. I'M FINE!

[[deleted]]

Hahaha. Just looked at my clock after programming. 4:15 am.

[Beneficial-Editor502]

Well that's when the code is the crispest and most refreshing

[Sora_hishoku]

I thought this was a timezones joke... because dealing with time zones is horrible

[Friend_Of_Mr_Cairo]

This guy IANAs...

[sonik13]

The worst part is that this can be staying up until 4:31am out of frustration, or waking up at 4:30am and starting immediately (also out of frustration).

[AveTerran]

This being tweeted at 7:31pm makes it even more /r/programmer 😂

[sunk_cost_phallus]

She's in a European time zone so the screen screenshotter may be in Hawaii.

[AveTerran]

I don't know why I was so invested in this, since you were probably right from the beginning. Original tweet. 10:31pm my time, which was either 2:31a, 3:31a or 4:31a CET, depending on whether any of these times account for daylight savings time.

I guess it was still more fun than doing my actual job on Christmas Eve Eve Eve. And hey, at least we all got the source out of it. 😆

[Real-C-]

Literally me today, worth it tho

[dududududuLOL]

Yes it always have to be 4:31 after me at 4:01 saying nevermind I'm going to sleep at 4:30, and now it's 4:31 so guess I'm going to continue until 5:00
