Ruby on Rails is great! - It’s so easy … I can code while smashed and still get work done! I work from home. I code hard and get a lot done. Ruby on Rails makes my productivity so much higher than I can actually be drunk … and still impress my boss! It’s great. Do you have experiences like this? Do you code better while unable to walk the line? Does the loosening affect free your thinking … and does Ruby on Rails make it so easy you can be smashed and meet a deadline? Tell me… ---

Hey, What’s your number? I want to hire you for my next project. ---

Maybe it’s a good idea, though, to not write e-mails while smashed. ---

> Do you have experiences like this? I do actually, and it feels funny (funny-strange, not funny-ahah) I’ve been a regular 7/8-hour-sleep kind of guy my whole life, except for the long nights of coding that would leave me exhausted the day after, but since I started this Rails project 2 weeks ago, I’m on my 2nd 3-hour night in a row, and it happened twice in 2 weeks. And when I force myself to leave my desk, my body is tired but my brain is so awake I take my PowerBook in my bed to read this list and the dozens of Rails related blogs I track for another 30-45 minutes. Three hours later, I get up. I’m under no stress, except for the hard-to-repress “I’ll just add one more feature, it’s so easy with Rails” urge. This morning, I seriously considered going to my G.P., to see if nothing is wrong with me. Your message made me feel better, less alone. I don’t need to see my doctor, I need to write more code. Sorry but I must leave you now: there is one more feature I could code before going eating… Alain
