rare to see people go the other way
I suspect this is literally true, but only because we don't see them. I've heard second-hand the story of a top developer at a famous unicorn who just couldn't keep up with all the stimulants everyone was using to code more and burned out, bought a cabin in the woods, and became a hermit.
- ChrisMarshallNY 6y ago> all the stimulants everyone was using to code more That's interesting. Do you mean Adderall/Ritalin? That stuff has a relatively fixed useful half-life. It doesn't work for as long as people might think. It also doesn't actually make thinking clearer. It makes people feel as if they are thinking more clearly. I don't feel like looking for it, but this has been studied and reported, somewhere. If you are referring to crank, well, the half-life of that stuff is even shorter...
- dleslie 6y agoCocaine, MDMA and LSD seem to be favourite drugs around town, here in BC. I mean, besides the usual marijuana, tobacco and beer.
- bnjms 6y agoAmphetamines, cocoon, and modafinil are the likely targets. Other than that look up stimulant nootropics.
- nitrogen 6y agoNever tried any of them myself and don't know which they were referring to, but the other replies are probably in the right direction.
