"But night software is not like that. It’s not written for the day job. It’s not written to see the light of day at all. It’s not written to be looked at and scrutinized by anybody. It’s intimate and personal, it’s messy and buggy. To take a look is to transgress."

@neauoire I found that paragraph beautiful and poignant. Less preciousness. discarding finished and slick aesthetics. intimate, bespoke work.

@neauoire Funny: My ‘night code’ is much more tidied, polished, optimized than my day code. I can justify wasting time on pointless details.

@neauoire Do you really want to tell me all these developers working with big software companies – Microsoft, Oracle ... you name it – only work night-shifts?
