I have been coding non-stop now for three weeks. Some days I put in over eighteen hours, waking up in the middle of the night and coding ideas down....
In contrast our Macromedia(Adobe) Director GURU spent two months on the engine and three weeks on just one of the games and he got most of it wrong. Many days of testing and asking him to make corrections and explaining what I need and what I meant.
I have been able to do it all in less than three weeks. Way cool.......
I love spurts of intense activity like that.
One of the best programmers I've ever known pretty much lives in cycles like that: intense non-stop flow zones for a few weeks, then takes a couple weeks off to drive around the eastern seaboard checking out good bands.
Sure, cycles like that can confuse spouses and pets, and it's probably a good idea to make sure you drink plenty of water (food is optional but water is a sometimes-forgotten necessity). But to paraphrase the old Taoist masters, "Eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're tired, code when you're inspired." :)
Congratulations on getting the job, and done well.
I plan on going camping for a week after this.
Where will you go: desert, mountains, or seaside?
I've been tempted to throw a SoCal Rev Campout in which we try the most daring of survival stunts: to see if a group of Rev developers can spend the night in the desert without Rev.
