Push Code, Drink Coffee, Repeat: The DevMugs Daily

Let’s face it — being a developer isn’t as glamorous as Hollywood makes it seem. There’s less hacking into government databases and more… Stack Overflow, broken builds, and reheated coffee.

Here’s what a real day in the dev life looks like:


☀️ 08:47 – The Standup Sprint

You’re still mentally booting when the team call hits.
You say "Yesterday I worked on X" (even if it was mostly debugging that one thing that still doesn’t work).


09:30 – The First Mug

Fresh coffee. A clean terminal. You believe in yourself.
This is peak productivity. It lasts 23 minutes.


🧠 11:12 – The Existential Bug

One error. One line. Everything is broken.
You say, “It should work,” 7 times. It doesn’t.


🍝 12:43 – Lunch + Googling

You eat leftovers while watching a 12-minute YouTube tutorial at 1.5x speed.
You still don’t understand it, but now you’re full and confused.


🧼 14:00 – Refactor Time (aka: Make it Worse)

What started as “just cleaning up” turns into a cascade of changes.
Git status: chaos. Mood: hopeful.


💤 15:45 – Coffee #2 & Productivity Panic

You realize the day’s almost over and you’ve written 14 lines of code, deleted 200, and renamed a variable five times.
You drink more coffee. Panic-coded productivity kicks in.


17:38 – Commit, Push, Forget

You push your changes, confident and terrified.
You write the commit message: minor fixes
(It rewrites core logic. Who cares.)


☕ Bonus: The Mug That Keeps You Going

If you saw yourself in this routine, you’re one of us.
