I regularly consume MDMA with my best friend (two or three or four times a year) and during these day-long trips, we discuss a wide range of problems we're having with our personal programming projects. Not every problem is solved in these times, but there certainly is some ground gained on a few of them. Sometimes it might as well be NP-hard to solve concrete problems after enough MDMA, but I am confident that the effects of MDMA establish a channel of communication between us that we don't normally get to enjoy, and that channel can be very useful for solving specific problems. And the things we talk about range very widely to a huge number of subjects. I'd say most of our core beliefs about the universe are affected by our use of psychedelics. Personally, I also use mushrooms for sort of directed trips to explore my life situation, and again, it's pretty hard to do any coding while high, but conceptually, there is absolutely no way I would have had some of the ideas I've had without psychedelics.
