Meanwhile I'm here skipping lunch because I have no sense of time when I'm solving an interesting problem.
Sometimes I’ll do that until 4 in the morning. Then I have to sleep and miss morning meetings.
Are you me?
Same. I legitimately like my job and sometimes skip because I'm doing something interesting. In general, the harder the problem, the more fun I'm having.
That said, I'm a manager and I absolutely tell my people to take breaks.
