There's a big difference between doing short bursts of work with little sleep - particularly when you're young - vs doing it constantly for months/years.
In this case it just seems to indicate enthusiasm for the project rather than dangerous overwork.

I agree, but it sounds like the author wanted to claim that he did something impressive in a small timeframe, thus suggesting to the reador some level of technical prowess. If the author claimed instead that he did it while well-rested in a couple of months then the achievement wouldn't be so impressive.
"after one week of exciting sleepless nights of work (which explains the lots of typos you will found ahead), the darkriscv reached a very good quality result"
Not commenting on the actual quality of the code, but I wonder how can one make typos due to sleep deprivation, and yet produce "good quality results" in software.
