I find that I always code better on an empty stomach while drinking a warm cup of coffee. Is that a scientific thing?
- amznbyebyebye 5y agoI can only conjecture.. the caffeine energizes something to help get s*it done. The empty stomach, something biological about, like when you’re full, your body is like ok I’m alive I’m satiated, don’t need to hunt. Coding is like hunting, you gotta kill the bugs so empty stomach is better.

- copperx 5y agoI can't think unless I have something in my stomach, so I'm sure it depends on your metabolism or gut bacteria or who knows what.
- fhe 5y agoMy guess is that when we were hunter-gatherers, one of the strongest motivations for us to go out of the cave was an empty stomach. I am purposefully keeping myself a little hungry during working hours. The idea is that my body will keep sending signals to my brain to "not slack off".
