4AM Destruction

A quick tip for programmers working on web applications:
  • Do not commit code changes at 4 in the blessed AM.
  • No matter how much you think it will help.
  • Even if you sometimes operate under the name "4AM Productions"
Bad things will happen, and you will set yourself up for a day of really lousy technology karma when you get up in the morning six hours later.

Why do I mention this? No particular reason. On an unrelated note, my forehead is sore and I seem to have damaged the surface of my desk somehow.

Well, yes. Murphy is a night owl, doncha know. :)

There are similar rules for pretty much any field of endeavor. E.g.: No cutting after 10 p.m. (9 p.m. if the fabric cost more than $15/yard), and no sewing after midnight.
