Shipping at 1am, invoicing at 9
The day job is enterprise .NET. The night job is whatever I can build before sleep wins. The trick is not letting either notice the other.
The schedule, honestly
Mornings belong to the invoice. Evenings belong to the build. The overlap is a twenty-minute window where I pretend a side project is "almost done".
- The contract pays for the runway.
- The apps are the reason for the runway.
- Sleep is the variable I keep adjusting and shouldn't.
Discipline by day is what buys the freedom to be obsessive by night.
Slow is fine. Stopping isn't.
Get the next one when it ships.
