    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.

        https://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”.

          So, if I understand you correctly, there’s a non-trivial correlation between drinking beer, shitting, and programming?

      I always thought of it more like “give me some motivation to add more stuff” in that “I turn coffee into code” sense.

        “20$ is 20$”

        which said it first: kofi -funded developer or onlyfans star?
