I am not typically a "morning person"*... but this doesn't mean I cannot adapt to mornings, and I have had stretches of my life where I have done early starts. Right now I am starting my day with a 5AM alarm 4 days of the week, and trying to make the other days 8AM (with varied success lol.)

Today I moved the alarm to 04:30 and I've gotta say... mornings can be pretty damn glorious and it makes me mildly lament the many glorious mornings I have missed. (TBF I've also seen some pretty good 2AMs.)

This is a photo of the office in which I work, taken at just after 06:00 today... not bad for a tech job really. Definitely my top working location, even beats a high-rise view over Sydney harbor.

* I suspect morning/non-morning people is more a result of "nurture" than "nature". In my case I pretty much literally grew up in a restaurant with chefs/resrauranteurs for parents. A post-midnight sleep cycle is pretty much baked in.
