When I worked for Time Warner Cable a bunch of years ago me and a group of guys were the 'tools team' and we wrote in Perl and Shell scripts. It was awesome - my mind was ALWAYS programming. I would wake up having solved a problem in my sleep and write it down then go back to sleep. I'd wake up the next day and actually be able to read what I had written that night! It was crazy!

I'd get on the tread mill (I was quite a few pounds lighter too) and listen to some rage, get a good rhythm going and get into this 'state' where I would literally write the scripts in my head.

Now I can barely recall how to do a for loop...
