I totally love this... coding work is all about quality, to take quality high it is absolutely needed to also relax, recharge, exercise, experience new things to stimulate imagination.

In the last week in had to rewrite a big part of Redis (Sentinel) I worked more than usually, touching more than 1000 lines of code in 6 days. In order to accomplish this "programming sprint" I worked in a more intense way, not more hours. 8 hours every day is huge, if they are not enough, probably you are trashing most of the time reading/writing useless emails or reports, on way longer meetings, and so forth. Better to fix the root cause.
