A surprising number of my colleagues over the years have been know to dabble in all sorts of things to "enhance performance". Adderall: at one point in time I think half the engineers in the bay were popping these. They were practically free and available everywhere during the dot com bubble recovery. Weed: A good number of JS engineers I know are just miserable people to work with till they smoke a joint. Drinking: From casual to alcoholics, drinking culture used to be huge in many bay area offices. This has died down... still there but more discrete. LSD: there is a shocking amount of this, your average dev team likely has someone who micro-doses if not more... Cocaine and MDMA have gone the way of the dodo: fent made them mostly non starters.
