it's not about working at night, but going balls out from waking to sleep. how long u stay awake doesn't matter, but the passion that engages your every waking moment, and makes you want to stay awake longer, so great is your desire to hack.
Perhaps, but some realize that the mind can control the body in unhelpful ways. For me, my mind races at night. Sometimes I indulge, but I always feel like complete shit the next day.
I've learned my mind doesn't actually want to stay up all night. I had to optimize my own process.
i said: "it's not about working at night, but going balls out from waking to sleep."
if you sleep early, ok. but when you're awake, do you want to spend all your time hacking? then you have the passion. if not, then not. that's my point: it's what you want to do with your waking hours, not which hours your prefer to sleep.
I wasn't arguing with you. My point is that even if I have the passion, the passion might not optimize for productivity. A super late night might ruin the next day, for example. I have to harness the passion to make it more productive.

he's not make a point about ordinary people. he's making a point about school not working for everyone.
he's taking the smart, motivated people who don't need school and giving them a head start on changing the world.
these smart motivated people won't be clogging up admissions and class sizes, which will make college better and more accessible for people without the smarts, will, or desire to be entrepreneurs.
