Developing Programmers Prefer Real Coffee
According to our poll of 13 people, 54% of visitors prefer real coffee, 23% prefer instant, 15% prefer coke and one person preferred Chinotto, an uncaffinated Italian drink.
Interestingly, nobody said they prefer pepsi. I’m sure some of my readers prefer pepsi. Any comments?
The new poll (see the left side bar) is about the Joel Test, a 12 step guide to better programming workplace practices. Do you agree with the test? Is Joel spot on?

I prefer Vanilla Coke, but since I’ve had to go sugar-free, I prefer Pepsi Max. But I don’t generally do quizzes.

Coffee is real - unless declared integer.
Sorry…

I prefer Pepsi. You just can’t buy it here. We’re a Coke shop.
I have also discovered that if I buy expensive caffe latte, I can get by without much sugar in it. (Good caffe latte should be neither bitter nor scalding hot.)

Tim and I like Dark Columbian and Australia Gold coffees, which we grind fresh each morning and cook on our little stove top coffee pot.
