Hey, i found this blurb on a job post a little while ago and i thought it fit my personality pretty well, anyone else feel the same way? and btw, the coding while dreaming is entirely true with me  i've woken up before and written a page of code before  Are you the type of person that loves working on new technologies that stimulate the mind. Do you enjoy challenges of creating innovative and new applications and new tools. When you wake up in the morning do you say "WOW thats an amazing idea and write it down." Or when you are talking to someone about their current problem do you think to yourself, "Hey I have a great idea that would solve that problem," When you sleep at night; "do you think of new ideas and solutions while dreaming? Do you dream in code? do you see code? ------------------ |

Programming before bed is not always a great idea. I'll lay awake thinking about it, trying to come up with new ways to solve problems. ------------------ |

Totally! I have resolved many issues just through dreams. I'll be working on an algorithm all night long in my dreams and it will come to me. I'll go in to work and the problem is resolved! Last night I watched a few minutes of "Run's House". I was a Run D.M.C. fan in the 80's. Well, all night long, in my dreams, I somehow needed to solve a problem in their house using STL (standard template library). Go figure. |

yeah, it's interesting reading those job postings insomniac games had (might still be there) something like a 'top 10 reasons why working here is fun' list It is a good enough list for me to list insomniac games on my 'hit list'... I literally shutdown when I go to sleep no matter how much I'm thinking about coding, I don't dream, or at least people say I just don't remember (though I swear it's just blackness), wake up, and get back to work (coding)... ------------------ |
