Hmm I've heard some people say that stimulants are good for awareness and quickness, while opiates are good for simply making a large chunk of work seem attainable and enjoyable. For example, "I can sit here writing this code forever because it feels so nice to sit here and eat Dilaudid and write code". Getting real utility out of it, though, seems to be up to self-awareness, experience and luck.
- mruts 8y agoI think that’s a good way to put it. When coked out, you get all these grandoise plans and might start to rewrite the entire codebase. With heroin, it’s more like you can just keep on chugging for a long-time. This is in fact what makes heroin so dangerous. As long as you have the money, you can keep on chugging, while feeing chill and relaxed at the same time. The problem is when you run out.
