This is so unrealistic. Developers don't drink decaf.
regardless of experience, that's probably what makes him a junior
I do, exclusively
Getting rid of caffeine (decaf still has a little) has been amazing for me.
I’m trying to switch to non-alcoholic vodka.
Non-alcoholic gin and tonics are the shit. If you're legit looking for non-alcoholic drinks and like G&Ts give it a try.
Completely agree, it's basically just botanicals anyway. Well and booze
Non alcoholic beer has gotten a lot better the last years as well.
Also called voda.
How so? I more than likely take in too much caffeine lol
I'm not the person you're replying to but for me, I used to get random headaches and jitters and I feel more consistent now.
The problem is the withdrawal period can be hard for some. It was for me, but overall worth it in the end.
So you get consistent headaches an jitters now instead of getting it randomly?
How much you drinking? I didn't think it had an impact on me, even afternoon or evening, and only realised the difference when I cut it out
I have a "thermos" style bottle that's probably 16oz that I drink throughout the day every day. Weekends I'll drink more as I'm home and it's readily available.
It's cold brew so it's already cold for anyone disgusted by the "throughout the day" bit lol
16 oz is not that much, although cold brew is a little stronger. I used to consume a about gram of caffeine a day but withdrawal for me was a light headache and slightly lower energy for a day (I went no caffeine for a little while to reduce tolerance). I did notice my energy improve without it, however I am sometimes not able to get enough sleep and it is good for leveling out energy in those cases. I generally try to have low doses and occasional strategic bursts when necessary. Also if you are worried about sleep you can do the math using the half life of caffeine (5 hours avg.) to figure out how much you are on when you go to bed. Sorry if incoherent, I have been busy this week and not getting much sleep.
Personally, if i have too much and/or too late, i have a hard time falling asleep in the evening.
I was shocked and appalled by this blatant inaccuracy.
Not the same, but I switched to tea mostly for aesthetic reasons, and after a brief adjustment period, I'm finding it a lot more fun an varied than coffee drinking. And easier to find v low caffeine, or tasty 0 caffeine teas of as many varieties as you can imagine.
I'll still have a social coffee every now and then, but anyway I'd recommend it, at least to check out. It's like discovering scotch after a lifetime of beer drinking.
Try eplaining tea to others though.
Every time I am on-site I get asked for two options: Coffee or water.
That's why I bring a bag or two in my breast pocket when I go out!
I assume your are either not interested in loose tea or not there yet.
Once you reach temperature sensitive teas (like japanese greens) that are additionally sensitive to hard water it quickly becomes difficult to brew tea at work/not at home.
Personally I started to bring a 400ml thermos (about my usual cup) and on some days my 1L thermos.
Both my thermos keep a 70°C tea warm (probably 50°C) even until end of work and so temperature doesnt become an issue but instead oxidadation. Greens like to become a faint brown color and change their taste. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not.
This strikes me as particularly funny, thank you, that is very accurate. I have dabbled in the leaf that is loose, mostly buying baggies from the bulk food store, so not particularly fresh (or high quality). But yeah I am trying to stick to the cheap stuff for now. I love how it's so much less expensive than coffee!
Friends keep sending me these boutique tea and m samples now that I'm drinking tea haha, so I do know what I'm missing
Yeah, bagged tea is definitely more cheap compared to those more boutique teas.
But you can get it cheaper in local tea shops or on sites like yunnan sourcing. But: shipping and import
I'm not even a year into seriously being into tea, so I imagine I'll just get more particular over time. I'm still working through a few boxes of various grocery store black and herbal teas, so maybe I'll look around for something different when those start to run out.
I do really love a big pot of green tea while I'm working at my desk job.
My biggest advice:
Stop going to grocery stores and instead try to find a local tea store with loose teas stored in non-see-through containers.
They will usually let you smell the teas and you can determine if they may fit your taste or not.
But watch out: Smell ≠ Taste
And the taste is very dependant on your water hardness (if hard, you should get a water filter) and for how long and how hot you brew it.
Wish you best of luck :)
If you want a starter:
80-90°C water (my cups are ~400ml)
Chinese gunpowder tea (4g is my go to)
1-2 mint leaves (my choice is nana/maroccanian mint)
Brew for 1-2min
If it's a good quality tea, you can reuse the bag and maybe add another 1-2 leaves of mint
And LLMs don't get on the correct answer.
I think this comic might predate the LLM craze.
This post is not specifically about LLMs, though?
That's what people have been pointing. The 60 hours of training should have been a dead giveaway.
I hope the neurons use a logistic activation function. If it's a saturating linear one, the result will still be full of surprises.
DECaf is a pseudo abbreviation for Dangerously and Extraordinarily Caffeinated.
It has a higher KDR than a Panera charged lemonade.
