It's simpler to get in bars (though they tend to run out of diet coke fast), and... well, I never bothered to check the carbohydrate contents of rum; just decided to go with the simplest option ;).

Understandable. When I was doing Keto everything and everyone suggested rum and Diet Coke was the best when out drinking.

I'm actually about to go back to keto, as last time I bailed out halfway to my target. I might try rum this time, thanks :).

The C#, it turns out, is the same as a Java but with a finer stock of liqueurs. The recipe for C#.NET however, is proprietary and no one can quite explain why one in a thousand makes you ill, or why the bottom of the glass seems to fall out sometimes.

The title “Cocktails for programmers” gives me the same feeling as would the phrase “Leaf blowers for stamp collectors”. Yes, a stamp collector might use a leaf blower, but it would not be relevant to collecting stamps. On the contrary, using a leaf blower while collecting stamps would be… inadvisable.

No fun allowed. Ever.

I was thinking that the recipe for PHP would be: 1. Drink entire bottle of tequila 2. Vomit into a dirty glass 3. Drop glass

As a PHP developer who likes tequila. I'm down for this.

drink(tequila) or die();

Malibu, Crème de Menthe, Jager, Triple Sec, Vodka & Coke, Kahlua. These seem like cocktails for programmers... earlier in their careers, shall we say.

I never quite acquired a taste for more refined liquors. These are right up my alley.

My wife is a bourbon/whiskey snob. She mocks me when I make a jack and coke.

Another cocktail is the "Tschunk", which is hugely popular with hackers here in Germany. See the recipe here: https://entropia.de/Tschunk (the main ingredient, a carbonated, caffeinated soda called "Club-Mate" is difficult to source outside of Germany, though).

Hackerspaces around the world tend to figure out how to get it. It's hard to get in Poland, and yet in Hackerspace Kraków we have a crate ;).

Yeah, we somehow had a ton of it at Hive76 in Philadelphia. It might still be there, if someone needs some. Nobody drinks it.

They make Sprite Zero now, I'd do that instead.
