The problem with sleep() is, you are likely to miss the point of coffee-availability and then run into the coffee.IsEmpty-Branch again

You're right: it's better to SleepEx(.., TRUE) to make it an alertable sleep [Win32 API only].

As I understand
1) It is a blocking call. No work can be safely done unless properly caffeinated.
2 and 3) GetRandomProgrammer returns the caller if non is available, so that sendSomeone is idempotent to a getOffYourLazyButtAndGetYourOwn function.

1) Doesn't it depend on if the promise of coffee is sufficient to continue to code(which, of course, depends on time since last coffee), thus allowing for multitasking. I guess you'd then need an interrupt handler or callback function to handle the coffee delivery update.
2) and 3) - I like that.

It is safer not to code while under-caffeinated, it tends to give unreliable results. On the contrary, attempts to access an IDE or a compiler during coffe-abstinence should be avoided at all costs

Which is why, for peak efficiency, a coder should be caffeinated before reaching minimum level. This would allow for asynchronous handling of coffee delivery.
In fact one might argue that drinking coffee is not a function of coding per se and that under-caffeination should be an event driven error condition.

Another problem with your code is that you don't make use of the Input parameter.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Damn right it's not funny. Coffee is brain fuel! It is not a joking matter. Zero coffee is like zero entropy: Nothing can ever happen.

actually its not brain food, its just an addictive drug that decreases performance when you are in withdrawal, once you kick the foul habit your performance will be as good if not better than you were after coffee.
your just a legal junkie, after they ban fags I am going to put coffee forward as the next target

I think there is a term for that, oh yes, an addict that's it

No argument from me, but there are far worse things to be addicted to!
I am at the stage of life where most culinary pleasures are taboo: I cannot eat sweet stuff, I cannot eat juicy steaks, I can only enjoy alcohol in strict moderation, I cannot eat butter on my bread, etc. etc.
If you think I'm giving up coffee as well: Dream on!

To clarify, the fags referred to are Cigarettes and not a reference to any sexual orientation

I already knew that. My post was a "joke", yes, and a poor one at that. I also know how and why the term "fag" came to refer to a male homosexual. But, I'll not elucidate given your clearly high snootiness.
