Stop well before the deadline; you won't fix it in the last minutes
Quote
No, it's 15 minutes before I need to leave right now. Experience tells me that this is not going to be fixed. The closer you get to a deadline, the more like, the more difficult your mind finds it to actually focus on the thing in

Summary
Dave's mornings have a natural stop: he codes on Godcaster for about an hour and a half before work and shuts down no matter what state it's in. He's been late too many times playing it close. Experience says the bug won't get fixed in the last 15 minutes, because the closer you get to a deadline, the harder it is for your mind to focus on the task.
