Love Mornings (Score:5, Insightful)
I kind of love those days I start early - say, 5am - for some project, and by the time 9am or so rolls around, I realize I've accomplished more than twice as much as I typically do in a whole day.
My favorite part of the day is the stillness in the hour before dawn. I'm an early-morning person stuck in a morning-hater's world; I'd do my own thing, but it places me entirely out of synch with friends and family. (What really ends up happening is that I burn the candle at both ends. Blech.)

Day? Night? It's all the same. I go to bed when I'm tired and get up when I'm done sleeping.

How do you get all your coding done during the day?
Uhm, at the office in our regular 9 to 6 jobs ?

I wish society were better suited to people who are productive. I need to get x amount of work done in a 40 hour work week. I could get it done in 10, but I'd still have to show up for the other 30 hours. It's rare to find a job that can appreciate that, and more often than not it's actually bad if you can work that hard - your boss(es) will expect you to be able to work at that pace all the time.
So I find myself working intentionally slowing my pace. I really wish there were more companies that operated on a merit-based function rather than a time-based function.

I would be about 500% more productive for my company if they a) didn't make me deal with the production issues and b) put me somewhere where people couldn't interrupt me.

Unfortunately we are getting old now. It seemed 10 years ago, that a lot of Slashdot were in their late teens and early 20's still living in their parent basements, today the demographics are in their late 20's and early 30's. Are married and have kids, and full time work.
Missing option: When Corporate email server dies (Score:4, Insightful)
I dunno about the rest of you, but email and corp text chat are by far the worst productivity vampires for me. When those die, I get a few blessed hours of interrupt-free coding.
Sadly, being in an international corp, work non-standard hours just means I get queries from different folks in whichever timezone is normally working...
