in reply to Do you ever dream in code?

I've dreamed about writing programs. At least twice, they've turned into real programs or pieces of real programs and became good code.

More often, I've fallen into a half-asleep state where my brain won't stop thinking about a program. That's the worst. It's not restful at all, but I'm too tired to walk to my office and punch out code.

I have better luck coming up with designs (if not actual code) while showering, walking, or driving.

    Hey it is becuz you code before going to bed!

    I used to play strategic games into the late night, and sometimes I just go to bed from the screen. Those are the nights, I have difficult situations dreamed, and to solve.

    If you do the same with coding, you will be coding during your sleep :)
    But why the heck did I bankrob last night, without mask? :)))
