    I used to write a ton of code while caffeinated.

    Now I write less, better code since quitting caffeine.

    There was a brief period where I was incapable of doing anything at all between the state of high caffeination and no caffeination.

        Yeah, always high. I quit weed and caffeine at the same time. Quit alcohol 7 months ago. Nicotine a year ago. I’m completely sober for the first time in 13 years as of a few months ago. It wasn’t the code’s fault. It was depression. TBH the coding was a way to gain some control over my life. It gave me reasons to dive deeper into my addictions though.
