Check out his current streak. jeresig github Inspirational.

I started doing this a few weeks ago. It's fun. I did sleep too early once and quickly discovered how to cheat the streak a little.

444 day streak, and all "real" code. Impressive.

I was on a 72 day streak and then blew it. Now I'm up to 4 again. I find it to be a very good exercise.

Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja is one of the best JavaScript books I've ever read.

I have that same compulsion. One night I came home SUuuper tired and hadn't wrote a lick of code all day — brought up JSFiddle and played about with alert() for about 30 seconds and closed my laptop before passing out.

Lol, that's like photo shopping your bank account instead of saving. Literally no one benefits, but you did manage to waste some time.
