So far, no one has mentioned that tests are biased against programmers.

I am referring to the fact that programmers mostly are the type to keep
"programmer's hours", known to a previous generation as "musician's
hours". The more important a test is, the more likely it will be run
early in the morning.

Is this a sinister plot by the "getting up is virtuous" conspiracy ?
