Coffee and Programming?
-
Is there anybody who just craves or is "addicted to coffee" as a software developer, computer/system programmer or just plain "programmer." For instance, you may pause a project briefly just to brew and sip a cup of Joe. Like you cannot live or cannot survive a day without thinking about having a craving of this drug?

If You mean Joe, then yes. I make a pot when I wake up (5 AM). Then on my way to work I stop and have a 24 oz. cup. Then by 9 AM I have another. Not an addict though!

My name is Albert and I have a coffee drinking problem... :java::~
Hi, Albert. No need to be :baaaa!:ish, you can open up to us. Let's start from the beginning. Who got you hooked, and how long have you been using?

It's time to stage an intervention.

Well - I can life without coffee. But the less coffee I drink the more ciggies I smoke. And more important than coffee and ciggies is music - I almost die if I forget my headphones at home. Once they broke in the morning after about one hour working. A painful experience.

I had a pair of headphones break on me yesterday. As I was putting them on, they rudely snapped in half and hit me in the head. That was a painful experience. Luckily, those were my "listen to something on my work computer" pair, not my "listen to music" pair.

Which way, more or less caffeine?

That confirms it. Somebody restrain this man while I give him an injection to medically induce a coma while his body goes through withdrawal. If we make him do it awake, he'll go insane and hang himself with his own straitjacket.

Yes, we know. OK, Mr Frazzle, please follow me over here and join the group. People, scoot over and let Mr Frazzle in. There you go. Now, Mr Frazzle, please introduce yourself.
What me worry?
I'm frazzle (David) and I'm a coffee addict. :laugh:

Inject? Isn't that dangerous, does your body have to chemically break it down, or it will kill you by poisoning.

Wouldn't coffee or generally drugs be a kernel driver, since it affects your system. Drugs to humans like Drivers to machines.

Maybe, but not me. Caffeine makes me sleepy.

That means that you have ADD or ADHD. The mechanics of how stimulants work are not fully understood, but it is well known that stimulants have the opposite effect in those with severe attention deficit disorders. I unfortunately am quite familiar with what it is like to being around someone with said affliction. :-( The worst case I know is my (ex) father in law, who used to make a whole pot and drink it before bed. I can't drink any caffeine after 14:00 or I can't get to sleep at night.

If it's daylight, I drink coffee; when it's not, I'm drinking scotch. I see no need for anything else.

Wait a second. What happened with your bet? Did I miss the post where you broke down and admitted you lost the bet to your friend? Tsk, tsk, tsk :) Soren Madsen

This could have been a super great thread if it had been titled "Coke and Programming?"... :-\ I cannot stand the taste of coffee. I have tried many variations and the closest I can get is the Vanilla Frappuccino from Starbucks sold in bottles in many stores. I drink Coke or Monster energy drink. The "Absolute Zero" from Monster is drinkable. BTW, I think we need an icon for a programmer all hopped up on caffeine :-O Soren Madsen
