  I have been self prescribing testosterone for 2 years. My levels were 250 ng/dl, at 20 years old. No Dr. would prescribe due to my age, but I felt, and looked like crap. Testosterone has been life changing. The amount of focus and drive I get running high normal levels is insane. The only time problems crop up that cause issues at work, is when estrogen gets out of line. Estrogen that is out of range, high or low, causes severe issues. I only have issues when running supra-physiological doses of testosterone though. For more info, check out /r/steroids[0]. Fantastic wiki with tons of info on running safe cycles, or long term usage.

  I've also been self-prescribing testosterone for years, dosage ranging from 200mg/week to 3,000mg/week. I find the sweet spot to be around 200mg-500mg/week. Anything higher makes me lethargic, at 3000mg/week I would sleep 15 hours and get almost nothing done, of course at 3000mg the physical results were dramatic. I could sit on my ass and eat a gallon of ice cream all day and still lose body fat. In my experience negative effects are most prominent when there is fluctuations of hormone levels, such as when changing the dosage dramatically. Of course it isn't a magic drug, the effects are slow and gradual. How it will affect programming productivity, I would say is subjective, but it will give you an overall better sense of well being.
