Do a Google search on "spider webs on caffeine". Over my long career as a programmer, I went from looking at caffeinated beverages as an aid to getting things done, to the discovery that I made far more programming errors under the influence of caffeine. I cut out my addiction to coke and pepsi and watched my productivity soar. Now, a new successful software company near my home town has built a new building, and the newspaper account describes the office spaces that have free access to Monster type drinks etc. I just wonder how this myth of "programming fluids" for programmers got started and why no one has actually studied it.
