My favorite working hours, of all time, are 11pm-7am. I get more done in that 8-hour stretch than any other.

There's less local news. There's nobody to call or text. There are no deliveries. Slack is quiet. My email is quiet. Our repos are quiet. The dev logs are quiet. My family is asleep so I know they're good. If I need a minute to think, I can sit on my front porch and not worry about being distracted.

Now that I have a young kid, it's really hard (and generally selfish) to work those hours. I miss it.
