    Its quite interesting that even though most software developers complain that there's virtually no time to do anything but write code, the majority still enjoy talking about food. Interesting huh ... :laugh:

    I try to make sure I eat something from the four food groups every day: sweet; salty; carbonated; and hamburger.

      IMO, that's a phase most people grow out of.

        normal, If you have too much caffeine without food, it upsets your stomach. Since caffeine is a major part of programming, it is only fitting that some time be devoted to food, if only to prevent the issues with 1 gram of caffeine on an empty stomach.... which would of course be fatal. ;P

          I like to eat. And, rather conveniently, my body burns a lot of calories. Best yet, i write better code when i'm well-fed. Therefore, i count the time i spend cooking and eating as... prep-time or something... for the time i spend writing code. ;)

                You know...sweet is usually a subset of carbonated, and salty is usually part of what comes with hamburger..It just might be possible to refactor that list ;):laugh:

                  I'll say it again: Cooking = Programing in the "Food" language. Once a programmer realizes that, he can't be stopped. I forgot to defrost that piece of zander, looks like I have to join the frozen pizza club.

                    Unfortunately, all too many of us program in Food++ and don't manage our resources properly, resulting in access violations around the waistline :sigh:.

                      Refactoring is tricky. We could end up with carbonated Reece's Peanut Butter Cups and Pretzels being doused with ketchup and relish. However, I think we might want to add a Boolean property to carbonated: is_caffeinated

                              I think "memory leaks" would be more appropriate. :-D If you use Food++ you have to manage memory leaks yourself... but can use (eat) whatever you want :) . In Food# you don't care about memory leaks, but you're limited to only what .NET offers ("healthy" food :-D )

                                  But I prefer Food++, since Visual kitchen .net is full of bugs, and automated tasks take decades to finish and need a lot of expensive resources. When Food# cocked, it needs a large place as well and before eating you have to pray for a long time. In the end you find out it's not a good idea to eat multiple Food# at once since you'll probably blow up. :-D

                                      The 4 food groups I've lived by... alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and fat. Salt just happens.

                                        Therefore, i count the time i spend cooking and eating as... prep-time or something... for the time i spend writing code.

                                        Does that mean that you bill for cooking and eating? :doh: That sounds like a plan!!:cool:

                                          Its quite interesting that even though most software developers complain that there's virtually no time to do anything but write code, the majority still enjoy talking about food. Interesting huh ... :laugh:

                                          One of our guys we found on the street with a sign that said "Will optimize SQL code for food!". We made him president! Of course, after you feed one - they all start begging... So, now we have some new signs: "Keep hands & feet away from the cage." AND "Please do not feed the programmers." I think programmers need to follow the rules for gremlins: 1.) Don't feed them after midnight. 2.) NEVER GET THEM WET! 3.) Don't let them talk directly to clients. Me - When I'm hammering out code, I live on a strict diet of RedBull & Pen-Caps.
