perks and perils of caffine

At my job, we have one of those new espresso pod machines in the kitchen. Usually after lunch, I’ll start to get a little drowsy and need a caffine kick.

Today, I chose the heavy duty espresso forte pod and made myself a double espresso.

After finishing it, I immediately found the puzzling bug that the lead dev and I had been staring at. Super. I then misread the spec and dove deep into Qt4’s QTableView MVC architecture before coming up for air.

There are twothreefour1 things wrong with caffine.

  1. Too much and I get anxious and my heart starts jumping
  2. I start thinking too fast and making mistakes
  3. I hear you can build up a tolerence, so I’d need more and more to have the same effect
  4. The inevitable crash

I try to not have it every day, so I can preserve the wonderful, creative effect it has.2

  1. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition! []
  2. This post was a result of caffine []
