The best programmers are not fueled by intelligence, nor inquisitiveness, nor a desire to learn new skills. The best programmers are fueled by two things: coffee and donuts.
Today, June 6, is National Donut Day. With me today are two things that have fueled my career: a cup of coffee and a hot donut. The coffee is a cup of Green Mountain's Double Diamond, an intensely-flavored and somewhat bitter roast that's regrettably only available in a K-cup. The donut is fresh from Lou's in Hanover, NH. Still warm from the oven, it's dripping with that most quintessential of New England toppings, a maple sugar glaze.
Are you drooling yet?
As warm and tasty as this donut is, my best recommendation is to take a trip up Route 1 in Maine, and visit Frosty's on Main Street in Brunswick, Maine. I believe these donuts to be the best on the planet. Reviewers on yelp agree; the only complaint is the demand is high, and they run out of donuts early.
There's lots to see and do on the Maine coast, and a good donut just adds to the pleasure. Bon appétit!
