Coffee vs. beer: Which drink makes you more creative?
- mathattack 13y agoThis makes some sense. On personal experience, alcohol can facilitate group discussions too. It's social, everyone talks open ideas, and can stretch a little more. But it's much worse for deep thinking. It's also worse for thinking 2nd or 3rd order effects. (Or consequences) Coffee is great for productivity, but it's very much a "Stay on target... Stay on target..." type of drink for me. This is somewhat consistant with the article.
- jmduke 13y agoSlightly unrelated: this post seemed eerily familiar, so I googled the first sentence and realized why: it was posted on Medium, too. (https://medium.com/what-i-learned-today/f7fcb3b786b1 https://medium.com/what-i-learned-today/f7fcb3b786b1) This is, I think, the chief issue with services like Posthaven, Medium, and Svbtle: by buying into the centralized platform, it means that you're putting your valuable content on some other service instead of using it to further your personal/corporate brand. The simple solution is to repost it, but that leads to the same issues GameFAQs faced with popular titles released on multiple platforms: when the network is split, the network effect weakens and the discourse suffers.

- neckro23 13y agoBeer with coffee in it. Problem solved!
- gverri 13y agoIf you want creativity nothing beats Cannabis. But between the two definitely beer.
- mcdoh 13y agoI always felt as though I'd be more creative, but I'd smoke and still be in the same bind. I was able to churn out tons of code, but I'd have a lot of bug fixing to do later.
