Same. When I was at my first SWE job after college, I’d get up at 6am and try to beat Chicago traffic to be at my desk at 7am. That’s when I’d pull up HN or my list of technical topics I’d like to learn, then go for it until my teammates arrive. Rather shamelessly, I even had Leetcode open and went through exercises weeks before I left the job. Good reflex training having to force close it right around 8:30am though :)
