5am Coder – Wake up and code alongside developers and makers

It's hard to focus when you're stuck at home.

5am coder brings programmers, developers & makers together at 5am for session of deep, focused work.

Hi HN!

This week I did hours of focused work, by video calling my friend and holding each other accountable.

Co-working over video call is nothing new. But wouldn't it be interesting if: - it took place at 5am - brought together programmers, makers and coders?

5am coder is an experiment to get a bunch of programmers, engineers, makers together at 5am, for a session of deep, focused work.

5am Coder will run on Tuesday 30th March 2021 for 90 minutes via Zoom. There are 2 sessions: 5am BST (UK, Ireland, & Lisbon time) 5am PT (US & Canada)

I'd love to see you there! It's super quick to sign up via Calendly at https://5amcoder.com/

FAQs I like to sleep in - why is 5am coder so early? 5am is super early haha! I'm not an early bird either, but I do love the feeling of beating the sun and feeling productive. If that sounds good to you, why not give it a try?

What if I'm not in the Pacific Time or BST time zones? Please feel free to join in! I will try to open up 5am Coder to other timezones after our first session.

Why is the session 90 mins long? 90 minutes is an optimal length of time for focus, based on the Basic Rest-Activity Cycle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ba...). This is based on the work of researcher Nathaniel Kleitman.
