    I’ve always thought the “buy me a cup of coffee” was a thinly veiled euphemism for “give me beer”

    As someone who doesn’t partake in drinking culture. What makes you this?

    Caffeine makes sense to me because you need to get a boost. Alcohol doesn’t make sense in this context (to me of course). Is there a stereotype about programmers being drunk in unaware of?

      https://xkcd.com/323/ this? and the fact that most of my programming breakthroughs have come while in “two beers” territory.

      edit: actually, no. MOST of my programming breakthroughs have dawned on me while sitting on the can. But second most is “two beers down”.

        So, if I understand you correctly, there’s a non-trivial correlation between drinking beer, shitting, and programming?
