A nerdmare is not a nightmare.
A nerdmare is not a nerdy nightmare either.
A nerdmare is much worse than both.
A benefit for the nerdmare is that one is most likely not terrified.
A benefit for the nightmare is that there is a chance of getting some sleep.
Nerdmares leave you tired and cranky.
Nerdmares come in two distinct variations:
- You forget to sleep because you're completely engrossed in programming/gaming/*nix/books/you name it.
- You try to sleep, but your brain won't let you as it's insatiably fueled by and wrapped around an especially nerdy topic.
Unfortunately, last night I experienced the most ironically disturbing type B nerdmare, centered around REST.
Somebody get me a coffee.
Have you ever had a nerdmare?

I have these a bunch, and it feels like I remember them again as they're happening. Kinda like deja-vu, but recognizing it the first time.
As often as I have nerdmares, I have designerdreams. In my dream, I'll be looking at a really cool website I found, or working on a project. I'll find myself thinking in the dream, "man, thats a nice site...why didn't I think of that". Then when I wake up, I plagiarize my own dream concepts.
To be denied rest because of REST.
