Thank you for the link and sharing your experience. Hope you can get back to sleep after the emergency bug fix :S

My sister ... a lawyer ...not a developer had some words of wisdom for me after listening to me vent. "You're not saving lives, nothing is that much of an emergency that you need to work all night doing it". She's absolutely right, in that the focus on getting 100% of the work done 100% perfectly can mean long unnecessary hours and some pretty awful self-talk.

I'm changing my focus to try and remember that, but it's easy to say and harder to do.
