Late night work:
Sometimes the best work is done beyond the hours of 8 to 5. Tonight four of us are pushing hard to reach a critical goal and we are having a great time. It feels good to work as a team with a single purpose it is what collaboration truly is. A new type of extreme programming, four people on one computer all pitching in. It is these type of experiences that bring people together and bonds are created.

These are the times in a young business that will be reflected upon with a sense of pride when the product serves its ultimate goal, success.

And, the pizza and beer are not so bad either.

Cheers,
Mike

If you're working more than 8 to 5, you are a great team that will win the prize!

Well, I always think extreme Programming is way to ensure quality and robust code. We call it JPP (Jay Paired Programming).-:)

Since Microsoft hijacked the world all programming has been extreme; extremely bad.
But best of luck to you and I will look in on your project

I fall asleep at night and cannot any kind of work unfortunately. I'm an early riser and get right to work early on. That's the way I like it!

Your efforts would sound even more impressive if you described them with fewer passive constructions-- active voice, Mike, active voice!
