Cannabis and coding
I just watched a documentary called Grass is Greener on Netflix. It talks about may things surrounding cannabis. How politicians demonised it despite scientific evidences, how minorities were targeted by anti-cannabis laws...
However, throughout the documentary, we hear a lot of testimonies from various artists such as jazz musicians, hip-hop and rap performers and songwriters. Different generations of artists find themselves more creative when they are high. Obviously, the question has to be asked: Have you ever coded while being high? What was the result?🤌

A few months ago I was staying in Barcelona working remotely on a small frontend project, and one night after visiting a relaxed cannabis club with some locals, I came back to my apartment convinced I had suddenly become a genius programmer. For about three hours I rewrote an entire section of code while listening to old jazz playlists, and honestly some of the creative UI ideas were pretty good. The funniest moment happened when I was reading through notes from a local cannabis guide https://cannabisbcn.com/ while debugging animations and suddenly started connecting design ideas in a completely different way. The next morning half the code needed fixing, but a few concepts actually turned out better than my usual work.🌿
