I once spent the night on the stern of a sailboat with 6 cans of Red Bull, debugging a Mac driver for a piece of hardware that may end up being used by Foxconn to test iPhones.
I would have been much more comfortable in the cabin but the marina WiFi network didn't reach that far.
Why burn the midnight oil? It was either that or no sailing out next morning to spend a week at sea.
That just seems highly irresponsible though - you are working on adrenaline and caffeine to get a product out so you can go away and be offline for a week right after. I've been in your shoes before, and tight deadlines can warrant the need to just get shit done - but I also make sure I am around after some brief rest to handle any additional issues.
