There is a pretty well-established stereotype about software engineers that is based in real-world reasoning. This post will explore the history and reason for the 'late night coder' philosophy.
The history of the 3 am software coding marathon often originates with late night gaming. Coding, or gaming, the reason for the late night escapades is in search of uninterrupted time to do what they do.
If your company frequently experiences late, late night commits or pre-dawn work it's likely because your employees are lacking sufficient uninterrupted time to conduct their work. Deep thinking activities are virtually allergic to sporadic interruptions for meetings and such.
Evenings should always be reserved for bourbon consumption and making memories but dedicated engineers who are hard-wired as 'makers' will find a way when obstacles present themselves.
Cheers.
