The traits of a proficient programmer
Gregory Brown wrote an excellent article on how you can grow as a programmer.
Do you know what the difference between competence and proficiency is? ... Competence means having enough experience and knowledge to get stuff done; proficiency involves knowing why you are doing something in a certain way, and how it fits into the big picture. In other words, a proficient practitioner is always a competent practitioner, but the opposite may not be true.

Why programmers work at night
Programmers work at night because it doesn’t impose a time limit on when you have to stop working, which gives you a more relaxed approach, your brain doesn’t keep looking for distractions and a bright screen keeps you awake.http://en.codeceo.com/why-programmers-work-at-night.html
Though I keep working at night to a minimum it sounds very familiar. It seems a bit strange but not having a deadline is great for productivity for some types of tasks.
