sorsarre Phew. Been hell of a week, with all the interviewing and non-stop bug-fixing.
The one peculiar thing about all sorts of crunch times is that despite having been dead tired since halfway into it, it's always somewhat annoyingly hard to stop. One day it's all rush and crazy, the next evening it's suddenly all quiet and you realize that the last thing planned is done, half the team is leaving for vacation, the other half ranges anywhere between drooling in front of TV and going on a small weekend bender.
And yet you still check every fifteen minutes in case there's a new blocker issue or new code review or lurking around the codebase or issue tracker to find something to lay your hands on and its well past midnight already.
None of it is really productive — at this point, frenetic checking doesn't yield any useful leads, and one is definitely in no shape to approach the mountain of technical debt that's been stinking around for the last couple of years.
In that kinda mood the best thing IMO is to drop it and stay away from the bloody keyboard at least for the weekend or so.
