It's good when the price of a cup of coffee increases - cuz it helps foss coders whose donation msg is 'Buy me a cup of coffee' 🙃️

As a poor European:

Coders saying “but me a cup of coffee” for $8.

I buy a pack of coffee of 250g for ≈ $3. An average cup, according to Google, is 7.5g.

That’s $0.40 for a cup.

(Or about 9 beers)

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.

As someone who doesn’t partake in drinking culture. What makes you this?

Caffeine makes sense to me because you need to get a boost. Alcohol doesn’t make sense in this context (to me of course). Is there a stereotype about programmers being drunk in unaware of?

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”.

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