I similarly had to give up caffeine after an ER scare late last year. I didn’t turn in the card, but geeez I had no idea how hard raw dogging the work week would be.

Yes! Green tea is my morning beverage. It tastes so good. And when I go out and get something fancy, it is matcha latte.

Traitor. You shall be punished with finding a memory leak in vibe coded ASM

I spent the last two decades coding between coffee cups. I loved it. I would bounce of bed each morning with my mind buzzing with ideas to employ in my job.

Then I had to work in a different timezone. Can’t drink coffee in the evening, because otherwise I don’t sleep at midnight.

Every day is hell. I expend significant effort to overcome brainfog and motivate myself to work. It’s a losing battle. It’s also an eye opener of exactly how much I like what I’m doing, which isn’t very much. I wonder if it was just the caffeine all along

I’m personally a black tea fan, it’s just a joke on your average programmer’s caffeine addiction.

• coffee is only good for keeping the eyes open and doesn’t seem to help me with mental activity. It also makes the eyes itchy when it is finally time to sleep.
• green tea. Never tried that

I just go with cloves and cinnamon. Coffee is too strong for me and not worth the addiction.

I’m a millennial and I’m an energy drink guy.

Expensive. Do not recommend.

Developing a taste for black coffee is where it’s at.

All the caffeine, none of the calories.
