But this way I have 5 more minutes to code.


I add powdered caffeine to my morning Soylent.

(really.)


Holy crap this is the most dystopian-sounding statement I've seen in a long time. (From the point of view of someone who's never heard of "Soylent" outside of the Charlton Heston movie)

I intend this humourously, by the way. If you're the type of person who hates bothering with food, seems fair to also skip brewing coffee and just get striaight to the source.


I'd recommend anyone trying this to be cautious with the amount you add.


Primarily because caffeine is extremely bitter and adding too much will ruin it. I tried to put like 500mg of caffeine powder in my cereal once and it was utterly disgusting. I got about 4 spoonfuls in before I couldn't take it anymore.


why wouldn't you just take caffeine pills man


It's much, much cheaper if you buy the powder. But yeah, I ended up buying gel capsules and making my own pills.


Most important part of coding is thinking and and it is best done not in front of the monitor. Making coffee looks like a good process for thinking.


-10 minutes you spend on breaking the DRM


One-time cost.
