> I am against other forms of performance-enhancing drugs (other than caffeine). They create a doping culture that is no different from that displayed in professional sports. It is different because programmers aren’t directly competing with each other under controlled conditions. If caffeine were illegal, would you still be in favour of it? > If you have a serious, professionally diagnosed learning disability, maybe you shouldn't try programming all day? If someone can program effectively with a prescribed drug, why on earth shouldn’t they? Not allowing a disabled person to do a job that they can with some reasonable adjustments made by the employer is legal discrimination. Between those two comments, it just sounds like you’re afraid of being outperformed by people who are prescribed drugs you can’t get legally.
