We Playlouder developers are constantly working to improve our users experience of our product, and the regular activity of making hot drinks is often an unnecessary distraction from this. While we’ve certainly made great reductions in our refreshment-preparation time (I for instance discovered that the time it takes for a cup of tea to steep is the same as the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, so the two tasks can be run in parallel for greater efficiency), there’s still a lot of unnecessary to-and-fro-ing betweeen the Playlouder office and the kitchen when one forgets a colleagues hot drink preferences that could be factored out.
Therefore, in an attempt to maximise the amount of time available to us to bring you more exciting social-music-discovery tools (And in tribute to the wonderful Indexed), Myself and Matt both attempted to improve the efficiency of the tea-making process through the power of maths:
My attempt:
Matt’s Attempt: (Slightly simplified - as he points out, we really need a third dimension for ‘amount of tea’ as Matt doesn’t drink tea at all. He has an espresso machine on his desk, though, for the ultimate in caffeine-provision efficiency.)
