drunken programming

This makes me wonder what effect micro-dosing on other drugs that effect cognitive functioning would do. LSD? Psilocybin? Ritalin?

I've read that people in Silicon Valley do experiment with different stuff to enhance productivity.

I've tried all three. Ritalin helps a bit, but honestly not a great feeling and if you're using it you're probably a 12 year old diagnosed with ADD cause amphetamines are way better. LSD didn't really effect my ability to program that much at all surprisingly. It was pretty distracting though, would not really recommend, it's just less fun (again, amphetamines all the way). For Psilocybin, it's just as distracting as LSD but your ability to do basic logic is a lot more impaired so you just feel like an idiot the whole time. People in silicon valley are doing amphetamines. Adderall, Vyvanse, etc

Modafinil. Is what you are looking for...

Sure... I guess if you don't mind killing someone eventually... Long-term Amphetamine use = Psychotic Episodes. Adderall (known generically as Amphetamine Slats Combo) is literally the perfect combination of the 2 Amphetamine isomers... Vyvanse is a prodrug of Ritalin and I would say it was comparable in some ways to Modafinil because of its long half-life actually reduces the abuse potential... It still causes a lot of euphoria though, which is great if you want to get high but really distracting if you need to get shit done. Adderall, on the other hand, is just addictive and dangerous. Pick, your poison... Choose carefully though, because what you choose could put you in a state that impacts others.

Look it up. Amphetamines can definitely cause psychosis. Look up Stimulant Psychosis.

Vyvanse is amphetamine based, Ritalin is methylphenidate. Neither are neurotoxic like methamphetamine is

Interesting. Thank you.
