Ask HN: Who is working on a Saturday?

[lucaspiller]

As the title says. Who is working on a Saturday, what are you doing, where are you working, why?

I'll be futzing with a side project today--doing some coding.

In a couple of weeks I'll be working Friday-Sunday for the site shutdown for IT.

For a short bit the people outside of IT wanted to schedule it for July 4th holiday to take advantage of the 4 day weekend. For previous shutdowns, major holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving have also been suggested. It's never ended up happening, but it's really horrible when you can't make holiday plans for a couple of weeks while the timeline is still in flux, so if anyone here makes that decision for your team, remember your IT folks are people too. Even if you give alternate vacation days it's not really the same.

I have a global team of remote people and we're all paid hourly. So, days of the week and times kind of lose meaning after a while. On the upside, I haven't set an alarm clock in a while.

Saturday? Today is Saturday?

That explains no one else is here...

I'm working in the office. Developing a web app and need to build some things with D3. In the office I have dual 30 inch monitors so it's much easier to work on them than at home. There's an overtime budget for the contract I'm working on, so it's not totally a major bummer to be putting in extra hours.

I'm in my dorm writing wordpress code and fixing js for Business Catalyst accounts for embarrassingly chump change. Sunday too. And half of Monday.

Maybe i'll get around to one of the dozen random personal projects I have stacked up. But probably not. Red Bulls don't buy themselves.

Well, not strictly work but wrote on my thesis on the flight from Amsterdam to Stockholm. Was quite productive to my great surprise.

New knowledge is quite hard to generate in the enterprise system/ERP implementation space. So much have been written on it but it should work out.

I'm working. Email, design, and planning for upcoming sprint (software engineering). Why? Because I enjoy what I do an I have stuff to do. I work for Telenav in Culver City, we were ThinkNear until October. Nothing's really changed, just like a startup.

I'm participating in TechPeaks, worked on http://Feetlot.com today. Some other techpeakers decided to visit a 15th century castle in the Alps, but I wanted to implement some new features.

Up in the Poconos in Pennsylvania, working on a side project and enjoying the weather :)

[seivan]

At home. Just fixed some bugs for a clients release. About to start creating some workers piping words to different translation services. I just want to thank whoever made goslate.py.

[pusewicz]

In the office. Finishing stuff before a release. It's great!

[mattront]

At our temporary home in Thailand. Working on a new iteration of http://pinegrow.com.

[jwoodbridge]

Working from home on a drip email campaign for http://rafflecreator.com.

[monkeyspaw]

I'm interested in seeing some drip campaign examples. Just signed up for an account on raffle creator. Will this trigger your drip campaign to me?

[clinth]

Working intermittently (10%) from home. Checking in on a production system that's going to get its first big whack of data load later today.

[hesomp]

Just wrapped up testing the completion of moving our web tier to a VMware cluster and sending some emails about an upcoming sprint.

[cdvonstinkpot]

Working at home, about to file about a month's worth of receipts into Quickbooks. I've been putting it off for weeks.

[xilei]

Having calls with partners from home... only time we can really catch up because of distance / operations during the week.

[meerita]

I woke up early. Do some code. Then breakfast with GF and went to the beach. 5pm came back and started to code again :)

[ibudiallo]

I can't believe you did the exact same thing as me. twins

[ndcrandall]

Working on implementing a new feature for my web app. I'm currently at the Hacker Dojo!

[ajdecon]

I'm at a DevOps conference, which technically counts as work.
