Hacker News Reader

I don't get it... so many articles explaining how to do something so simple - so long as you're not doing something you absolutely despise or is terribly boring, it's just a matter of making a conscious decision to remain awake despite the time....

Many times I find my alarm clock ringing its wake-up call while I'm still hunched over my PC churning out the code, because I'm in love with what I'm doing and couldn't let it go just so I can sleep.

I'm waiting for the followup article, "How to Eat a Sandwich"

Actually, it was kind of a neat post.

I don't whether you've read the post or not, but it's talking about preparing for a team's all nighter.

I hadn't but I did later - my point still stands.

I've pulled group all-nighters before, and - again - you needn't do anything different than during the day. A pizza around 2am is good for the stomach and great for the morals :)
