Did a 48hr no sleep stint just out of college. My first software project in the real world. We got behind and it was release time and our customer (one of the big three American automakers) had built a ton of penalties for missing our release date into a contract with my company. Me and the rest of my team worked a full 48 hours to fix all the glitches our QC department documented. We made the release. All of us were given a full week off (comp time). It was worth it, but we were young, dumb, and full of something, and we never should have found ourselves in that situation anyway. Guess we were cocky and actually believed we'd built a bulletproof system until our QC department fired a bullet or two, then about a hundred.
