I’m checking in about people’s caffeine limits. I’m up to a lot of coffee a day. Eek! I know that’s too much, but what is a normal amount for a tired, overworked mom to consume?

Lol a "lot" is not very specific. How much we talkin? I am actually pregnant right now so I've cut back a lot. I was drinking two americanos a day for the last few years, but now I just have one. Trying to stay below the 200mg of caffeine everyday.

Lolol

Me too! According to USDA, which I did look up because I was kind of concerned, 400mg a day is generally the safe amount for ‘most healthy adults’. My first downfall was getting energy drinks every morning is 200mg off the bat. Then wanting a little pick me up later on. So I’m probably 250-300 a day.

Thanks!

I have no idea what's normal, but I know in my case I finally realized I was just drinking way too much coffee. I would just grab it and not pay any attention to the amount. And I got to the point where I just felt weird from it. I cut way back, but it took a long time. The stuff really is addictive. Now I just drink coffee at meals, which may still be too much, but it's not nearly as much as I used to consume.

I drink one 20z coffee a day and need it immediately in the morning once I start work. That will usually keep me up for the rest of the day. I don't count the caffeine anymore because I have it every single day and I don't wanna know those numbers lol!

Man, I wish caffeine affected me the way it affects other people I keep trying. I’ve never been a big coffee drinker so I get my caffeine through diet soda and tea. But I am always exhausted during and after drinking caffeinated drinks. I could down three glasses of diet Pepsi, and probably nap for three hours. I don’t know what would work for me. I haven’t found a decent stimulant yet.

So, I've realised there's a problem with developers, a lot of them are coders, not engineers. And another issue, is that, companies don't really care about their progression as far as I'm aware, so what did you guys do in your own time to transition from being a coder to an engineer?
