The world sleeps at 2 AM.
I don't. That's when I wake up inside.
The Quiet Advantage
No notifications. No chaos. Just silence and the soft glow of a screen.
For some, it's insomnia. For me, it's clarity.
At 2 AM, ideas stop competing with noise.
The world feels slower. My thoughts feel faster.
Every bug I fix, every feature I build — it all feels louder in the quiet.
What I Do at 2 AM
- Refactor the messy bits I avoided in the day.
- Write notes for tomorrow while the context is fresh.
- Ship small wins so I sleep with momentum.
People say, "Work-life balance."
But for me, this is balance.
Coding isn't stress; it's my escape. My meditation.
So why do I code at 2 AM?
Because that's when my best work happens.
When time doesn't matter, and everything else fades away.
