I’ve had many programming design breakthroughs while lifted. Write ‘em down, check ‘em the next day - many remain awesome (and some are confused).
Something about the heightened ability to focus on a single thing, deeply.
As you say - it’s a deeply personal thing. I also never actually smoke anymore. Edibles FTW

- RIMR 8y agoFor you. Carl Sagan touted pot's ability to help him with abstract mathematics, so YMMV.
- fhood 8y agoAbstract mathematics, and finding bugs, are not terribly closely related skills.
- vokep 8y agoThey are in that they both require abstract thinking, working in rigid systems.
- 5trokerac3 8y agoI totally disagree. Good bug fixing hinges on the ability to mentally organize multiple potential, interrelated points of failure. It's being able to have a working sense of the architecture and chain of logic without having to go back to the source too often. The difference between abstract thinking and bug fixing is literally left vs. right brain.
- cinnamonheart 8y agoLuckily, this point speaks to that: > Something about the heightened ability to focus on a single thing, deeply. I've found it helpful in sussing out tricky bugs that otherwise eluded me, in addition to it helping with the more creative aspects of software development.
