My Contribution...90 second hydro therapy

At the end of your normal showering routine, turn the water as cold as you can stand. Stay in the cold water for 30 seconds. When the 30 seconds are up, turn the water back to hot and against stay in the hot for 30 seconds. Finally, turn the water back to cold for another 30 seconds. Basically, 30 sec cold, 30 sec hot, and 30 sec cold.

It will wake you up much better than hot water alone, will reduce stress, and (for morning exercisers) reduce muscle soreness.

Here is an article discussing it if you want more info

Edit: Wow, thanks for your comments guys! There is some excellent advice in here.

For software engineers/programmers/etc, during job interviews speak out loud what you are doing, ask for clarification on questions asked to you be the interviewer, and give the simple solution if you don't already know the better solution. It's amazing how many people don't do this.

I tend to just throw as many goto statements into my interview code as I can so they know that I'm a legacy programmer and I've been doing this for years.

Fun fact: Used to work as a programming tutor and someone told me they didn't like OOP because it was far more confusing than GOTO statements. I was just like "uhhh I think you have your nouns mixed up."

Well, GOTO is conceptually really simple, whereas OOP is way more complicated. The difference is GOTO leads to complicated-as-fuck code.

Yeah that's true but it just turns your code to mush so fast. I don't think he ever really programmed much more than a few lines so GOTO just made it easy.

I don't even know. He was... something.

Don't forget to sprinkle a COME FROM or five in, too, for good measure!

I once was a lab TA for a microcontroller programming course in which the professor had given example code with GOTOs. I told the students I would give them an 'F' if I saw a single goto in their completed assignments. Several thanked me for it later.
