You are almost there, bar one vital and common engineering practice
used by all the top engineers...

The tongue.
Tongue angle is of utmost importance, especially during the physical
construction, debugging, and tweaking of prototype design hardware.
Although it has been shown that slight angular tongue action while
performing Spice simulations, coding, and PCB design improves
development time and reduces mistakes which would otherwise require the
prodigious use of choice four letter words to rectify.

This is, of course, another reason for the liberal application of
caffeinated liquids; apparently the caffeine keeps the tongue muscles
and servo mechanism in prime working order.

Now, the liberals in San Francisco have come up with a more potent cup
of coffee, "METH COFFEE".

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070110/sfw043.html

Meth Coffee, described on the company website as "a volatitherapeutic
beverage," is a blend of Arabian and South American coffee beans with a
"dusting" of yerba mate. Yerba mate is a natural stimulant made from
Ilex paraguariensis, a species of holly native to subtropical
Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Brazil. Mate is prepared by steeping
the dried leaves in hot water; its flavor is compared to that of green
tea.

Mate contains xanthines, which are alkaloids in the same general family
as caffeine, theophylline and theobromine (well-known stimulants also
found in coffee and chocolate). Mate seems to have physiological
effects that are different from coffee; it appears to create a mental
state of wakefulness and alertness, but without some of the negative
effects of caffeine (like heart palpitations and anxiety).
