-
Has anyone tried this. i tend to get really creative with a bit of beer, at times a bit too creative that i have no idea what the code was for ;) . Yea but feel good

That's what refactoring is for. [edit] Mandatory XKCD: Ballmer Peak[^]. Mandatory DD mention: Don't drink to much, or you could become an accountant! Optional personal opinion: it could help getting into the flow. It's not so much about focus, but blending out sensory input and intrusive thoughts.

One of the earlier characters in the British soap opera, Brookside, was Alan Partridge (no relation to the Steve Coogan character) - he was an alcoholic programmer.

I have tried many combination, Cocoa and COBOL, Coffee and C#, Vodka and VB and even Tea and TCL. My favourite is Gin and Java. :-D
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

So what about Nagy then?
People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

I think it's something with the gin. More reasearch is needed but unfortunately, no other test subjects are able to make it through the entrance trials.

They have the Gin in common to. Maybe Nagy is an undercover agent for the dark side?

That's not drink, that's love in a canoe. Copyright Infringement is the worst thing labelled as beer I have ever tried. And I've tried a lot.

There's worse - you do know they do a Bud Lite? I suspect it is actually dehydrated water...
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Blimey that's going back a bit. I seem to remember he had an ACT Sirius on top of his fridge, for some reason.
Like developing Commodore software? CBM prg Studio

For some reason I have yet to explain that character has always stuck with me

My coding gets 'creative' in two circumstances: my manic phase prior to a migraine starting, and the stoned phase when I've taken my drugs to deal with the migraine. Manic code is usually amazing for its quantity (quality is merely average). Stoned code is low in quantity, but the quality is fairly high, since I recognize I'm buzzed and I don't work on difficult stuff.
Software Zen:

I tried that once, then there was a person who commented that the code appeared to be written by someone who was drunk. That person was me. Thankfully is wasn't at work, just some stuff I wrote for coursework that did not get turned in. I had to rewrite it.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

when I get really plastered I let Spuds MacKenzie do the coding.

Never ever try Haskell then, you may get a habit.

Haskell and Hennessey, it may just work.
