I didn't sleep for 2 days and finished my MVP

Last weekend I decided not to sleep for 2 days. Literally, no sleeping, only coding.

It was super hard and challenging, coding all the time, and taking small breaks to eat and rest. But I made it, after straight 48 hours of no-sleep, only coding. I finished my MVP.

This was the first time in my life that I did something like that and to be able to finish it in only 2 days. It was crazy!

Just curious why? Stamina test?

I definitely respect that level of effort, and I used to work that way. These days, though, I reserve sleepless hacking sessions for last-resort emergencies; I’m really not at my best, things take longer, and I make mistakes. Sounds like you did accomplish something, though.
