I’ve always thought the “buy me a cup of coffee” was a thinly veiled euphemism for “give me beer”
edit: also, I have contributed. There’s this one android app that works to translate between different wargaming/miniature painting paint brands (as in color matching), the dev straight up asks for a contribution for beer. It was so brutally honest I had to.

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?
Caffeine is the socially acceptable fuel for programmers (during office hours). Beer is the unofficial one.

I always thought of it more like “give me some motivation to add more stuff” in that “I turn coffee into code” sense.
Beer, coffee, prune juice…I don’t care, here’s $5–$10!
“20$ is 20$”
which said it first: kofi -funded developer or onlyfans star?

don’t we all? But we’re here to make boring business software for MBA’s
Tomorrow we sail!
man, it’s been ages since I last saw this movie. Sober me’s todo for tomorrow: meaning of life, python. GET. ON. IT.
You watched it. Right?
Reminder!
I wasn’t actively aware of this for most of my life until I recently visited a clients office. Buying someone a cup of coffee is an entire thing. There’s no free coffee. You have to purchase every single cup. And you first have to walk several minutes to the place where they sell the coffee. It blew my mind. I’m used to drinking one cup after the other without even giving it any thought. Coffee machine right next to me or around the corner. There, coffee incurs friction and cost.
So when you invite someone for a cup of free coffee, this can open doors for you. I’m not kidding. People get all excited when you offer them a coffee break on your dime. And there’s levels to it too. There’s the regular coffee, and there’s the premium one. For the premium you have to walk longer and wait in line until the barista serves you.
It’s a key component in office politics when coffee access is regulated.
Why anyone would restrict access to legal stimulants in the office is unclear to me though. Put espresso machines on every desk!
But… That’s communism!
I feel like I’m the only one here eloquent enough to attack this preposterous stance, so allow me to gather my wits to plead my convincing rebuttal when I say:
boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! (that was hard to type on a smartphone)
catches it in a bottle and corks it
I’m saving this one for later!
