    Hate that a lot of programmer “culture” revolves around coffee. We should not be normalising caffeine addictions

      It comes up in memes/jokes, but aside from that, what else does it have to do with our subculture?

      I’m not sure that it’s even ours. Coffee comes up a lot in general office culture.

        Every time I go into the office we take like 5 coffee breaks throughout the day. Some coworkers have switched from pods to espresso machines to bring down the cost per cup.

        Is it just my team? I feel like this is pretty common.

          It’s not just you. My new year’s resolution was to go down from double shots to single shots.

        Yeah I guess it’s more that the general office world bleeds into the dev world

      Pretty sure it’s just general… culture? Caffeine, other than sugar, is the most normalized addiction. It’s a potion that works for multiple purposes.

    If you’re still laughing, try not taking any caffeine for a full day. I recently tried to stop the habit (digestive issues) and it’s really damn hard.

      I find anything other than light roast espresso gives me stomach pain.

      I’ve stopped a few times to make sure I’m not developing an addiction, and yeah, it can be tough.

    Jokes on you. I’ve been a drug addict before starting to code
