    Thought i needed Java to program

    Java is a type of coffee that contains caffeine, a stimulant substance that is proven to increase the release of fats from the fat tissues and helps boost the resting metabolic activity.

    When we were learning programming, we were told that people that developed Java programming language were drinking a lot of coffee as they develop the codes for the language, hence they called it Java. I came to associate computer programming with coffee. So i went to shop and bought 2kg of coffee. After the busy day of work, i will take a cup of coffee and i could feel refreshed and able to stay awake for some 4 hours learning Java.

    I wanted to be an expert in computer programming and as i was young and naïve, i imagined that expert programmers have to drink coffee in order to succeed.

    One day while in university i developed signs of blood pressure and the doctor recommended that i should reduce my coffee intake. I would have a 2 litre thermo flask with boiled water, have a jar of coffee by me and a jar of sugar. All i could was to make cup after another for coffee and make sip after sip as i went through voluminous books on computer science.

    I used to enjoy it very much. By the end of 4-5 hours of study, i could not sleep because i was intoxicated. My blood was rushing and my brain could not settle, it was becoming dangerous, working hard during the day and having sleepless night because of litres of coffee in my body. Most often i would forget to cook or eat, because i was eager to read my next page about Java or C programming, until i became serious sick because of strain.

    Nowadays, i don’t take many cups of coffee but a cup of coffee every two hours is in my schedule daily. Java coffee is an important substance in my house. Nowadays s i prefer milky coffee especially in the mornings. Another favorite coffee apart from Java is cappuccino which was very common among team members i briefly worked with on a JavaScript program. They introduced it to me and since then, it is part of my favorite drink.

    Before i was introduced to coffee, i used to like tea very much, but the amount of tea i have taken is much much less than coffee that i enjoy very much.

    Hope you enjoy a cup of coffee as you read this post:;
