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.
  
  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 just did a week without coffee, and I'm really proud of myself.
- 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.
I drink redbull or monster instead...
- Same thing but more advanced addiction
  
  Addicted to caffeine and sugar at the same time.
@devilish666 lol :D
Jokes on you. I’ve been a drug addict before starting to code
