    True story: ~85% of the powerful *nix Wizards I have had the honor to meet have been into stimulants and/or weed and/or microdosing.

      Reading the code of some people makes you convinced they must be on Adderall when writing it, and likewise you need to be on it to understand it.

        One of the best illustrations to me that I do actually need adderall is how much clearer my neurotypical coworkers say my code is now that I use it.
