My worst is today. Zero coding. Actually all week like this. I actually spent my time mapping XML from a french system to our system. Tedious tastic. Along with the most massive API to come out of france, it doesn't help when they use "colourful" interpretations of the language. Fun.
My best has got to be sometime in 1991. Three of us worked a 30odd hour effort to finish a project that was supposed to take a month of coding. We had like a carton of fags, a packet of Pro-plus, snacks, plus a few cans of beers (to help things flow nicely). It went pretty well, with almost 100% coding. We were like vampires when they opened the blinds in the morning. Was pretty good until we were told the assignment had been put back a week, and that we were all banned from the solarium (one of the sun sparcstation rooms) because of all the rubbish we had left strewn over the desks. I slept for like 2 days solid after that one... good times...
I also did a 92 hour working week once in Dubai of almost 100% coding. That was fun for the bank account and for the range of colours you can see with the naked eye (it seems more). Ah. 156 hours of overtime that month.... mmmm...
Cheers
I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing
