Except alcohol, that doesn’t make pretty code.
There is a short time when you are drunk enough to be direct and witouth inhibition and boosted enough I guess. Have to live on the edge.
Relevant xkcd.
The graph shows programming skill goes down with blood alcohol concentration except for a very short place where it shots up before going back down again. It’s called “ballmers peak” and it was discovered by microsoft in 80s as programming skills reached inhuman pevels with BAC between 0.129 and 0.130 Of course you cannot just give a team coders some year-supply of whiskey it’s a “delicate effect” as the researcher puts it. One curious member among the crowd asks “has that every happened.” Researcher “remember windows me?” The audience member gets up from their seat to shout “I knew it.” The end.
