Amazing how Paul Graham always manages to hit the nail on the head. It’s the 36 hour hacking sessions where i usually am most productive.

I totally agree, and normal hours don’t always work for the creativity needed to get through these “zone” coding sessions. If I have nothing stopping me I can get done in 2 days what might otherwise take me 2 months if I don’t control the schedule. It is all about the zone baby. btw i didn’t realize you did the C64 emulator, damn man nice work I bet that was a 36 hour thing.

Thanks Ryan, yes FC64 is one of those projects “driven by enthusiasm”. I co-developed it together with Darron Schall. We had helluva fun :)

The whole “holding a program in your head” is sooooo me ;-)
I hardly ever write one line of code before I have visualized the whole thing in my head..
