Dear me.
Not only a capitalisation error, but two spelling mistakes, all in 13 words.

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.

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

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

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.
