Why discuss Dunkin Donuts styrofoam cups? What do they have to do with .NET development? Plenty.
After I have crossed over from my daily $1.98/pound decaf coffee supported morning coding session, and before and after my 4:00PM Labatt Blue Hour of Power, I am drinking a cold beverage from a Dunkin Donuts styrofoam cup.
Dunkin Donuts styrofoam cups (DDSCs) have the following excellent qualities: They are light-weight, they can be used for months and years, they have fun colors, they are strong, and they are soft to the touch.
I don't understand developers who give no serious thought to their beverages and beverage containers. This is a part of the ritual of .NET coding, of This Developer Life of ours.
I have worked from home every day for the last 3 years, so I understand how coders who work outside of their home office might not be able to focus on these fundamentals, but there is always the late-night coding session to consider. So this issue should be important to everyone.
And the beverage? I was on a Kool Aid grind for a while but noticed I was really porking out. (Damn them for coming up with those Mad Scientwist flavors!) So I went back to a home-brewed ice tea recipee which I will share at another time. (This ice tea recipee--even though a decaf brew--will boost your productivity, I gaaarontee!) As a side, I always have a bag of Rold Gold Sourdough pretzels at the ready.
I love to write code, but please don't talk to me about it unless I specifically ask to hear about it. I am, however, always interested in what coders drink and snack on while coding. And I think everyone else should be, too. |
