    I used to work in an office with 4 other developers. It was a common occurrence to have the lights go off in the room, for energy saving.

    Simone would wave their arm, then go back to staring.

      At least they’re moving. Sometimes it goes off and nobody reacts at all.

      Sometimes figuring out what you’re supposed to do is most of the project.

      I work in a dedicated room in my house (remote developer). During the day I don’t really need to turn the lights on—windows and a skylight. The sun sets and sometimes I really just don’t notice. My wife will come in at some point and scold me for working in the dark, claiming it’s bad for my eyes (as if staring at a screen all day isn’t already).

      I actually rather enjoy that rather not-subtle marker of the passage of time and how entrancing “the zone” can be such that I fail to even notice that.
