What do you guys do if you need a short break from work? Between tasks or if I have finished something mentally demanding, I will often skim some news sites or hacker news.
Any recommendation what else to do as a quick break between programming tasks?
- icebraining 9y agoI prepare a cup of tea and stare out the window.
- dehef 9y agoYeah I just go outside pretending taking a mental cigarette, And water is better than tea also
- icebraining 9y agowater is better than tea also Not for my enjoyment. Though by "tea" I mean an infusion, not necessarily tea itself. I actually prefer mint.
- haggy 9y ago> water is better than tea also What are you basing this off of? How are the comparisons being done? Tea has many benefits provided its not "fake" sugar-riddled tea. Don't make a comment telling someone else to "stop doing something" without any context about why you're suggesting it.
- paulgb 9y agoI think a lot of the (very valid) points in the article apply more to mainstream news than industry-focused news like HN. That said, https://news.ycombinator.com/best https://news.ycombinator.com/best acts as a good low-pass filter for the "wrong" type of news.
