Guess I'm not a programmer since I only mainline green tea, can't stand the taste of coffee.

I'm personally a black tea fan, it's just a joke on your average programmer's caffeine addiction.

I know ;) it's okay, and all in good fun. Just a little tired of only finding "I'm a machine that turns coffee into code" shirts when I look for funny coding t-shirts

Traitor. You shall be punished with finding a memory leak in vibe coded ASM

Yes! Green tea is my morning beverage. It tastes so good. And when I go out and get something fancy, it is matcha latte.

I spent the last two decades coding between coffee cups. I loved it. I would bounce of bed each morning with my mind buzzing with ideas to employ in my job.

Then I had to work in a different timezone. Can't drink coffee in the evening, because otherwise I don't sleep at midnight.

Every day is hell. I expend significant effort to overcome brainfog and motivate myself to work. It's a losing battle. It's also an eye opener of exactly how much I like what I'm doing, which isn't very much

  • coffee is only good for keeping the eyes open and doesn't seem to help me with mental activity. It also makes the eyes itchy when it is finally time to sleep.
  • green tea. Never tried that

I just go with cloves and cinnamon. Coffee is too strong for me and not worth the addiction.
