About 20 hours solid, in a very high pressure deadline, with a lot of money on the table.

1 day beforehand was spent doing research, reading source code, devising strategy.

Next day (+ well into the following day) 20 hours solid development in Python and C++

After that it was deployed to 530 servers worldwide and went live immediatly.

Functioned perfectly. No bugs.

I was exhausted after that, it took me 3-4 days to recover.

Yes, I made a large sum of cash, and made connections which are still valuable today, some 3 years later
