But the lifestyle of a sysadmin, although filled with crises (yes, I knew it is spelled that way), does nevertheless require contemplation before action - when five servers go down, you don't jump on your horse and dash madly off in all directions, you sit quietly and work out what went wrong, then you fix it. Often without leaving your desk, while the berserk coffee-maddened horde is still galloping across town to the data centre.
And remember, a cup of tea contains about half the amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, so two cups of tea equals one cup of coffee. And that depends on how you brew it; tea is usually made weaker than coffee, but if you wanted to, you could double the amount of leaves used for a cup. But why would you want to? Two cups of tea is twice as good as one. But there's more. You also get Theanine in tea; you don't get that in coffee. "Able to cross the blood/brain barrier, theanine has psychoactive properties.[9] Theanine has been studied for its potential ability to reduce mental and physical stress,[10] improve cognition[11] and boost mood in a synergistic manner with caffeine.[12][13]" - source, wikipedia This probably explains why the www was invented by an Englishman. You made a big mistake that day in Boston.
