I typically get carried away by the software development efforts i'm assigned such that I end up staying really late in the office. Sometimes overnight. Is it normal?

    I remember programming on a 386SX 12MHz computer. Now THAT needed dedication. Didn't even take a piss until I had to compile whatever program I was writing...and compiling took around 5 minutes lol

    It's absolutely ok as long as it's not running you down our causing you to neglect the ones you hold dear. I used to do that early in my career and my wife nearly let me. I'm still passionate about programming but spend much less time at work and spend time at home working on personal programming projects. And even then in moderation.
