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

      a lot of programmer “culture” revolves around coffee

      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.

      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
