Mind-altering substances and programming

1 pointsby matthover 17 years ago
Wired's article "LSD: The Geek's Wonder Drug?" got me thinking that drugs and programmers may be more common than I had previously thought. <p>Has anyone ever used any sort of drug while programming? What were the results?

Programming isn't enough of a drug on its own? I get high when a cool hack works.<p>My operating systems course in college had a liquor cabinet in the CS lab (we needed it). I wrote a good portion of our final project while tipsy. Oddly, it didn't seem to make much of a difference.<p>Other than that, no. I'm a square.

I've found that smoking marijuana has a positive effect on my programming sessions. I feel as though I can see every single line of code at once. It makes for a nice coding experience.
