'Coffee' is a metaphor to all 'non-sustainable' means of productivity hacks that modern sofware engineering culture often embraces.
Some of these are -
- Dependence on external stimuli for focus: Relying on external stimulants, such as high doses of coffee or energy drinks, to enhance concentration and maintain focus during work.
- Neglecting rest and rejuvenation: Ignoring the importance of rest, breaks, and rejuvenation in favor of continuous work.
- Sacrificing work-life balance for relentless work: Prioritizing work at the expense of personal well-being, relationships, and leisure activities.
- Perpetual busyness as a status symbol: Embracing a culture that glorifies busyness and overcommitment, equating constant activity with productivity and success.
These might vary person to person but when you say
you signify your commitment to supporting and embracing support sustainable means of productivity and balanced appraoches to work.
