   Code drunk, debug sober. Bah! Just fixed three bugs after a pint of Tundra.

   (This is in no way meant to be role model behaviour. There just happens to be a lovely pub by the seashore in Bray and it’s a nice distraction in the evenings when the weather is good and I don’t feel I’ve done enough in the day* and need a change of scene.)

   * It doesn’t help that I never think I’ve done enough in the day. 🤷♂️

     @aral I have written some amazing code between the hours of 1 and 4 in the morning. Seriously.

     @JohannaMakesGames Haha, indeed. (Or is it worse if you’re ok the day after?) :)

     Yeah, I know. And I think I’m way better than I was. I’ve convinced myself that some day you do a little, some days more, and the most important thing is to keep making progress. Harder when sometimes it feels like absolutely no one on the planet gives a single damn what you’re making but, hey, it’s the road I’ve chosen apparently. Better than being applauded from all sides for mediocrity, that’s for sure :)

     @aral I wonder if you think the same about it tomorrow 😁 cheers!

     And don't believe yourself if you think you did not do enough! Its usually not true. (I recommend having a work diary / worklog. I am often surprised how full it is after doing "Nothing" all day.)
