I like to program whenever I'm not tired. I usually listen to music with headphones on. This helps to block out other people in the office or the tv/other people at home. Programming when tired leads to errors and forgetting where you left off when you have to stop or take a break. I rarely program outside. The glare on the screen is too much to deal with.

agreed...programming when tired is very unproductive...headphones is a good idea too!!...to not forget where you left off I try to write down a small note to my future self in the last git commit!!

>The glare on the screen is too much to deal with. Now tht can be solved with a laptop with a good display and and some shade!Remember the quote from Office Space "Human beings were not supposed to sit in their cubicles all day looking at computer screens"
