The Late Night Drive is the work you do late, the work that can’t be stopped. You don’t look at the clock. You don’t see the time. You just work. And then next thing you know, the night is over, the drive took you there. The goal pushed you forward. The Late Night Drive keeps you going.

Performance Tuning is great work to do because there is a constant wave of immediate feedback and the metrics for success are easy to quantify. Did it go faster? Win. Did it reduce costs? Win. Did it use less resources? Win. At some point, those returns become smaller, you go from optimizing hours/minutes to seconds/milliseconds. It’s at that point you have to ask whether the effort you’re putting is going to get you the returns to justify the time you are expending into the work.
