To make a long story short, I was fired last week from my software engineering job for repeatedly coming in to work late (9:30 instead of 9). Today my boss called me to say that he feels he made a huge mistake based on the productivity loss overall, and he'd really like me to come back. He already offered to let me come in anytime before 10am. I'm thinking of going back to make some more money before the end of my apartment lease in August, after which I'm planning to move across the country anyway and I'll quit then. It'll also look better in my applications to new jobs to already be employed, or so I hear.
I was making $25/hour before this, how much of a raise would be reasonable to ask for? I'm thinking of saying $35/hour plus back pay for the days I didn't work. What would you recommend?

This is dependent on location etc but $25 an hour for a software engineering job is fairly low pay. Typically I would raise my eyebrows at a 40% raise request but it seems like you're significantly underpaid anyway?
Without knowing more about your specific role, it's hard to know what's reasonable.
