A Cup of Coffee and Cleaner Code

Beyond the editor

This zone isn't only about programming. I geek out over a lot of things, and coffee is high on the list. Here's the small ritual that bookends my build sessions.

The pour-over, briefly

• 15g of coffee, medium-fine grind.
• 250g of water, just off the boil.
• A 30-second bloom, then pour in slow circles.

That's it. Four minutes of doing exactly one thing before I context-switch back into a hard problem.

The point isn't the coffee. It's the deliberate pause.

Why it belongs here

Guides don't have to be technical to be useful. Sharing the non-code stuff is part of sharing knowledge — and part of showing up as a whole person, not just a commit history.
