Re: all night coding
Generally, stupid, but if your productivity is high, it could be worth it. If it's not for profit, then definitely stupid.
I must qualify this with the fact that in general I personally have a better attention span for sitting down and coding in the evening or through the night. It's very hard for me to keep the focus necessary during the day when there are a lot more distractions. In the last couple of years though, I've been much less tolerant of losing an entire night's sleep though, so I tend to avoid staying up past 2 or 3am.

Re: all night coding
Yeah, I get positively wiped really easily now. Even 1am on a Friday makes me cranky.
Meant to go to bed after my meeting this morning. I have not. Whee.
