Ask HN: Where do late-night coders work from?
Like many others, I enjoy coding during the night much more than during the day, and I always end up doing it at home for the lack of a better venue.
Are there any cool places I'm missing out on?

Maybe one night or so a week, after dinner and the kid's put to bed I will head back up to the campus library and work.
They're open until 3am, which is later than I can afford to stay up these days. But it means I can still get 3 or 4 hours of uninterrupted work done even if I get there at 9:00 PM.
After so many years spent in school, I have been conditioned that when I enter a library my brain goes into "head down and get to work" mode. So it's a great place for me to get things done.
I also work late at my coworking space, sometimes there are other people, sometimes there aren't. I've definitely scheduled late night work sessions with fellow coders there though.
-I don't think they are aiming to make a profit -They have a lot of corporate sponsors -Economies of scale: large membership, large building = lower fixed cost per head -Most (all?) of the staff are member volunteers, so low (no?) labor costs. -It's in a converted industrial warehouse, not A1 office space, so it's probably fairly inexpensive rent, relative to a place like PARISOMA (which charges 3x more).
