Finding a Personal Coding Trifecta

jammag writes "For Seinfeld's George Constanza, his dream of the ideal moment was having sex while watching TV and eating a pastrami sandwich. He called this Nirvana state 'The Trifecta.' Developer Eric Spiegel adapts this concept of Nirvana to the act of writing your best possible code. He examines all (or most) of the possible things that might contribute to the 'The Trifecta' for developers — food, beverages, time of day. Spiegel also describes his personal Trifecta."

Chill out. The bible doesn't say you can't have a shit and get a blow job at the same time. So if the bible isn't against it then where are you getting this high moral sense from?

Well then you really don't want to hear my trifecta. It involves choking people without a sense of humor to death by ramming my cock, covered in shit, down their throat, and that's just the first part!

As a member of the female species, I would like to nominate my trifecta: A healthy and nutritious alfalfa salad; some Evian water (in the branded bottle, of course); and an episode of "Sex and the City" playing in the background.

I mean, get serious. Having a manicure? Whilst trying to type? I'm not gonna let anyone be in my vicinity while I'm coding, let alone some vapid manicurist. Sheesh.

For instance, sometime back, I went through a phase of modding my motorcycle - I did everything imaginable, pulled it apart, added custom mods, added jets, changed the exhaust, tuned performance to be race quality, modded the suspension, included angel/demon lights, did some crazy body work etc.

You made a jet powered motorcycle! Where are the photos? Why aren't you dead?

Trifecta? I didn't know Jessica Alba

1. A sinecure

2. "Working" from home

3. A fat paycheck

You don't get these coding though. Think an ex-politician, a diplomat, or perhaps CEO of a failed bank.
