Firstly, thanks for posting this (very old) post of mine to hacker news. I didn't even register the traffic initially because it is one of my more popular posts (referenced by various people).

The point of the article wasn't to say that good programmers work at night, or in the morning. It was more about drawing the distinction between those programmers that are driven and invest time in themselves and their career.

Glad that you align more closely with the Night Programmer mindset - good for you!
