IT’S 3:00AM AND WE ARE WORKING.

So, I can’t tolerate the heat, so I can’t sleep, and I’m wrestling with a couple of interesting ideas, and I see a comment on one of my posts from the guys in Cyprus. So I ask them what they’re doing at 3:00AM.

They’re drinking beer and writing web socket code… Web sockets are very lightweight background connections that let your web page update to reflect changes in the data. So in Oversing if say you’re working on something and someone posts a comment like they do in FB, it will appear on your page.

So, last time they stayed up drinking beer and programming, they increased performance by about 10,000% (Oversing is now effectively instantaneous – above the threshold of user expectations.)

So now I have a new business rule. “Give Them Beer”.

They just sent me a low- light photo of themselves, shirtless, with beer, and laptops laughing like hell.

lol.

I know. You wish you had a job like this. Everyone does. 🙂 It’s like being part of a hunting party. Like being stone age mastodon hunters except we have flush toilets.
