Coffee and developers have a strong connection. I mean a very strong connection, not unlike what Gollum shares with The One Ring. While having my c...

Haha you sure didn't waste any time posting this. :P
Damn, When did you clicked it?

You shouldn't forget Monster Energy Drinks with 240mg coffeine per 500ml.
I don't think that's healthy bro.
It's super healthy.
Much better than burnt beans.
Full of electrolytes and well-preserved B vitamins to protect the brain.
Oh yes 😩👌
(I am only referring to the sugar free Ultra of course)
And you simply cannot ignore the aesthetic.
Edit: Red and violet are good too. Orange is a bit weird, has the most accidental sugar, and too much caffeine.
I'm curious about this product (it is almost sugar-free, for a long time I thought it wasn't due to the black can) but they made the can hideous again, and I can't buy it locally:
😂😂😂😂
It's not healthy, indeed. Neither are soft drinks 😏🤔
Yes
I don't need caffeine to program at all.
Wait... is there caffeine in tea, Mountain Dew, and Diet Coke?
Oh. There is. Hmmm. In that case, I need copious amounts of caffeine.
My body is a fine tuned machine turning caffeine into code.
😂😂😂
This is the healthiest option. It contains 300 mg of caffeine and also Creatine & BCAAs. No sugar. Mostly for people who exercise.
Bangs aren't that healthy. The amount of BCAAs and Creatine are negligble in comparison to other options. I would recommend getting an actual pre-workout, like Outlift (2fypiu8r1n32xjnga5p4z8wz-wpengine....).
If that is too much caffeine (or you prefer premade),then you can always go with something like Lit, less caffeine but less other stuff.
I haven't tried Outlift before.
I guess I was commenting on the lack of any sugar in Bang which is present in most energy drinks.
300mg is too much bro
if 300mg is too much you are not considering how long you are taking to drink the drink. 3 cups of brewed coffee is 300+mg. The energy drinks I consume are deliberately spread out across an hour or 2 and not all in one sitting or I'll have 3 to 5 cups of coffee throughout the day. If the time to drink is 2 cans guzzled in 15 minutes like my brothers, then I'm inclined to agree with you.
Not if you literally want to explode. Then it's awesome.
I went cold turkey on caffeine at work last year after I was getting migraines all the time. I stopped drinking coffee entirely, and switched from normal tea to rooibos. The withdrawal symptoms were pretty awful, but after a week I started to feel a lot better.
I have let my consumption creep up again though in the last few months.
Same. I found that after basically giving up coffee, my concentration was better, I felt wide awake in the morning, had no detox headaches at the weekend and generally feel much better. I have one or two a month, as a treat. The other advantage is that when I do feel tired and have a coffee, I have no tolerance so get a huge kick from the caffeine. Win!
Tea also contains a small amount of caffeine.
That's why I stopped drinking it in favour of rooibos, which is naturally caffeine free but can be drunk in the same way. Decaf tea is usually vile, although Yorkshire Tea do a nice Bedtime Brew which is decaffeinated.
But a moderate amount of caffeine won't harm you. It's actually good to have a moderate amount.
I still drink ordinary tea at home, and will have the odd coffee, but I generally stick to rooibos at work. I was drinking two coffees a day, as well as tea throughout the day, and I found that started to cause problems.
Can't forget the tried and true and incredibly cheap caffeine pill! I take half of pill in the morning which is 100mg and thats all I need to get me going! I like coffee, but I don't want to have to worry about finding coffee every day so I just pop a pill and I am good to go.
also it's well tolerated, which is definitely an upside for many people. Although you have to consider that is "kicks in" pretty fast, so if someone just likes to sip a hot beverage and is more comfortable with getting that effect over a longer period, coffee or tea is probably the way to go.
Is it healthy to take that? are those pills Natural?
Yep, my doctor knows I take them and has zero concerns about it. In fact, he would rather I get caffeine from a pill than a sugary drink any day of the week.
There are all natural ones you can take but I prefer the generic version of No Doz.
That's cool then 😊
Appeal to nature.
They're not natural, they're purpose made.
They provide what you are asking for, and not contaminants.
Also convenient, portable, and shelf-stable.
I've been running on espresso since Tuesday when I got a new machine. Before that, for almost a year, I drank mostly Turkish coffee which gives an extra kick since I make it with some sugar. However, before that, I went from 3-4 espressos a day to 0 and had no caffeine at all for about 6 months. I didn't miss it at all, had no withdrawal symptoms, but I just love coffee too much to give it up forever.
Yeah, If you take it in a moderate amount, you won't experience withdrawal symptoms.
Green tea (Tencha) :
-> No dependencies to caffeine and suggar, no side effects until you don't drink 2L per day; and no fat gain =)
Natural coffee made with an italian coffee maker!! With a cloud of vegetable milk (no sugar!) Just a big glass in the morning.
Someone bought our developers some boxes of caffeinated chocolates, with each on having about 3/4 the caffeine of a regular cup of coffee.
One developer had three at once. I repressed all other memories of that afternoon.
Lesson learned: if you need caffeine but don't like coffee, each some dark chocolate in the afternoon and you'll be fine.
Bulletproof coffee! I add a tablespoon of butter and some cinnamon to my early morning brew. The fat content levels out the caffeine spike for a number of hours. Great stuff, and I now love the taste too!
Have to try this thing. 🤔
Black coffee and green tea, million times a day, depending on my heart rate.
Used to be all about Monster, Rockstar and Red bull, but then I looked at the list of ingredients and switched back to coffee. Sip days r' over.
😱😱😱
Cool article. I will always prefer drinking coffee, but a real good coffee. Most of the time brewed coffee and sometimes lattes.
I loved this! ha ha. It was a nice change up from the typical post on see on dev.to. I love coffee, but honestly what gets me woke up is a big glass of water and tea. Yet, I seem to rely on coffee constantly.
Coffee is more like superhero serum, for the times when you are needed.
Many many different, usually trashy, straight teas.
Like ?!
Pictured:
My all time favorite is this though:
It's a guilty pleasure because it prominently says Organic on the box, but it just tastes best. I should refill.
That'sexy
No matcha? Shame on you! ;)
But seriously. Good matcha will have you flying for hours with no jitters.
Matcha 🤔 Gotta try that.
I found that (despite the LOOK AT ME IM A GAMUR branding) GFUEL is a pretty great product. Almost sugar free (has maltodextrin in it) and instead of a caffeine boost that makes me constantly jerk my knee or simply jittery I feel like it just gives me proper focus for about (depending on how you drink it) 1-4h or something. When drinking this it's much easier for me to get sucked into my zone and flow of writing and developing.
I also use less than advised dose or stretch one serving to at least double the water so its pretty cheap comparable.
Plus the coffee machines in my office are not maintained very well soo yeah.
Tea is also great

I get a Grande Iced White Mocha Americano; no prive(sweetener) and water(if Im outside) or 2 cups of Keurig coffee. No sugar.
What's Keurig coffee?!
Here it is bro keurig.com
Thanks man
I'll normally start my day with a large cup of drip coffee. Occasionally I'll have another cup mid-day, but luckily I don't feel a strong need or dependency beyond that.
Same here.
Monster energy or one of those really cheap red bull alternatives! Can't beat a quick kick for 27p!
I use to had milk, been 2 years without coffee ☕
Tell me the address, I'm coming 😃
My college does Starbucks which is not a good thing at all for my health, especially when the Christmas range was out 😅
I get you bro.
I prefer direct injection. JK, actually straight tea with no additives appears to be my fix. No sugar please. 😁
I used to be heavily into redbull sugar free.
I've now landed on espresso and have 2 or 3 a day.
That's good. Redbull should not be taken regularly.
Do you have a reason why? I've been thinking recently this amount of espresso is probably just as bad if not worse 🤯😂
The reason is probably taurine which Redbull have. You can google it a lot of theories on it.
Caffeine drain your core energy.
If you over do it.
mic-drop
😂😂😂😂
What's that ?
Same here bro.
Lattes and cappuccinos do not contain sugar until you add additional syrups and sugars to it.
Don't have caffeine after 2/3 pm. Caffeine is stimulant drug, read "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker to know about the effect of caffeine on our body.
Yes agree with you.
I generally prefer coffee. But my coffee is capable to kill the average rhino or elephant. For me it's just...standard coffee.
Brewed Coffee or Espresso for me 😊
Yeah totally agree with you. Changes are good.
Double espresso. No sugar.
Hahaha, I know how's that feel.
OH !!
Even though you never really know if it’s science or placebo, I’m a believer in l-theanine along with coffee for cognition and focus.
It's not placebo, it's magic 💪💪😂
