Nah, all the Gen Z programmers I know are fueled exclusively by energy drinks! None of them drink coffee.
The ones my age and older, on the other hand…
Developing a taste for black coffee is where it’s at.
All the caffeine, none of the calories.
But if it doesn’t have calories then I need to stop and eat.
and maximum laxative effect
Spoken like someone who can tolerate lactose.
That’s true. If I put milk in my coffee it’s WAY more laxative than black lmao
I’m a millennial and I’m an energy drink guy.
Expensive. Do not recommend.
I’m a millennial and I can only afford caffeine pills.
Depressing. Do not recommend.
Coffe>>
Guess I’m not a programmer since I only mainline green tea, can’t stand the taste of coffee.
I’m personally a black tea fan, it’s just a joke on your average programmer’s caffeine addiction.
I know ;) it’s okay, and all in good fun. Just a little tired of only finding “I’m a machine that turns coffee into code” shirts when I look for funny coding t-shirts
Traitor. You shall be punished with finding a memory leak in vibe coded ASM
Argh! No, please! Please no!
Yes! Green tea is my morning beverage. It tastes so good. And when I go out and get something fancy, it is matcha latte.
I spent the last two decades coding between coffee cups. I loved it. I would bounce of bed each morning with my mind buzzing with ideas to employ in my job.
Then I had to work in a different timezone. Can’t drink coffee in the evening, because otherwise I don’t sleep at midnight.
Every day is hell. I expend significant effort to overcome brainfog and motivate myself to work. It’s a losing battle. It’s also an eye opener of exactly how much I like what I’m doing, which isn’t very much. I wonder if it was just the caffeine all along
Thats just a different kind of coffeine, no?
Mate, coffee and tea (or was it cacao, coffee and tea) seperately developed a coffein-like substance.
Caffeine, nicotine and glucose, the holy trinity of productivity.
Coffee gives me heart palpitations, and I don’t drink much tea any more. Does that mean I have to hand in my programmer card? :(
I similarly had to give up caffeine after an ER scare late last year. I didn’t turn in the card, but geeez I had no idea how hard raw dogging the work week would be.
That’s why I quit coffee. Tea doesn’t do that to me for whatever reason, probably just less caffeine total.
But I assume it also had something to do with high blood pressure.
Some of us a powered by medical grade stimulants.
Nono I only code using pure willpower
Eh, just one per day or my addiction kicks in again.
don’t talk to me until I’ve had my one per day
I could stop having one per day, anytime I want
I’m literally shaking, thinking about having my next one per day
Give me more cups of coffee than I have blood in my body
Make my blood into coffee
Coffee my blood
Tbh I think I’ve gotten about 10 hours combined sleep in the past week going to town on this latest project
