Dear me.
Not only a capitalisation error, but two spelling mistakes, all in 13 words.
I'd hate to be your editor, if you wrote something book length.

Wow invoking the grammar police, what next, accusing me of being a Nazi?
Just because I hate the smell of your beverage of choice? It is invasive and turns my stomach, yet rather than defending your beverage you resort to being personal.
Oh and I never realised that CP was being produced in book form or I would have taken more care in my 3 second post.
Seriously, is life so boring that you need the vindication of picking up on such petty grammar in a post in the lounge?

I do hope you're joking, because if not, that attitude will piss me off pretty damned quick.
You don't stroll into the lounge with a name like "Bloody Stupid" Johnson (I googled it) and make comments like you made about coffee unless:
a: It's a joke.
b. You can take a joke.
If it wasn't a joke, you'd better go change your tutu; it's obviously too tight.
Either that or cut down on the coffee.

I cut coffee out completely as it makes me vomit.
but why should I like a beverage that makes me vomit? and why should I not have an opinion on it?
Coffee has a very strong smell and invades any area exposed to it, this has a negative effect on me so when people think its the be all and end all I witter, however I accept that its legal and people like it so I do nothing, you however seem to object to someone having a different opinion to yourself.
so whilst it was said in jest there was a serious point behind it.
an please un bunch your own panties

I was under the impression that you had taken offence to people taking the piss (which is censorship that the Lounge can do without), but as that's not the case, forget I spoke.
Unbunch yourself about people voting abuse, though. It's the interwebs; it's got a full complement of wankers, and it's not worth the effort of caring what they do or say.

I feel the same way about oatmeal. The smell and/or sight of it makes me autonomically physically hurl. Its very texture, viscous & glutinous, makes my skin crawl and induces violent paroxysms of the stomach.

I see a couple of bugs in your code:
- There should either be a wait call after launching the sendSomeone asynchronous call (or maybe it's a blocking call?) or you should return null
- If the GetRandomProgrammer call returns null or fails to return, you need to trap the error/time out and return null
- Alternately you make a call to getOffYourLazyButtAndGetYourOwn method
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

It obviously IS a blocking call - it wouldn't make sense to make it async, because all you could do while waiting for the asyncresult (coffee) is a spinningwait

Isn't that up to the caller? I think it reasonable to get a null return if there's no coffee.

That's a fatal exception. The system is in unrecoverable state until a technician is sent with a proper supply of coffee.

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
