Lots of coffee. Started coding in the 90s and put it aside for a while to go to law school and then did litigation full time for a few years; then transitioned to a dev and eventually management of Dev/QA in a software company; then after the 2009 recession I formed a company for which I do all the dev for as well as went back to practicing law (almost exclusively in the IP transactional context). Split my time about 50/50. I'd never be able to do it if I were still doing litigation and going to trial; fortunately contract drafting/review/negotiation is a lot more sane/flexible regarding scheduling, and in both cases I have an understanding boss (me). But I could definitely use a vacation. :)
