How swapping out soda for water during long installs stopped my energy crashes

I drink water instead of soda and now I stay sharp through the whole job without feeling drained.

Come on, you're telling me plain water gets you through a full shift? I need that sugar rush and caffeine hit from soda to kickstart my brain for technical work. Water just sits there doing nothing, but a cold soda gives me that immediate focus boost when I'm staring at lines of code or server logs. Maybe you weren't drinking the right kind of soda, the ones with real sugar and extra caffeine make a huge difference for me. I tried the water thing once and my concentration totally flatlined by lunch. How do you even stay alert without that little burst of energy?

Flatlined by lunch? Sounds like you're coding on empty. I get my kicks from debugging nightmares, not sugar crashes.
