August 23, 2005Programmers Love Caffeine: But How Much is Too Much?I thought it would be funny to place this under the programming tools section, since we all know caffeine is a programmers life blood.

Of course the nauscea and heart troubles already occupring ought to stop you having any more.
This is not a reccomended daily intake or anything, it is a lethal dose, but since caffein does not stay in the body for long (also speeds up the urine production) it's more the long term wear of it that limits the daily intake.
Hope that helps.
