Do you program naked?


Ok, this might be an unusual title :)

But the question is exactly that. It seems the summers get hotter and hotter. Where I am, it gets about 34°C (93°F) inside. And I don't have air condition.

Is it best to expose as much skin as possible while coding, so it is easier for the body to dissipate the heat?

I don't have air conditioning either, but I have a huge fan on the ground that blows air under the desk. Plus I have a smaller fan on my desk, aimed at my upper body.

It keeps me cool enough to work in relative comfort, and I don't need to take all clothes off (but I do wear a polo shirt, khaki shorts and flip-flops which I kick off under my desk).

Not usually, but I sleep naked. And sometimes, in the middle of the night, to stop an idea continually revolving in my mind and keeping me awake, I will get up and put that bit of programming down on screen.

And yes, where I live, it's a chilly night if it drops to 16C (61F). Most days it's over 30C (86F).
