I've also heard legends about such stimulants but it would be quite surprising if this was a 'fairly high percentage'.

Let's see -

I knew guys who popped lots of xannies at my the bigcorp I used to work at. There's also a well known culture of microdosing among some at google.

Also, many developers I know smoke weed.

Stimulants I'd expect at a place like amazon. Not sure it's as coming in places with better wlb. They have coffee for that...

I'd be extremely surprised if the percentage was "fairly high", having worked in FAANG for half a decade.

Prescription stimulant? What do you mean?

Like Ritalin or amphetamine in prescribed form, as ADHD medicine.

Probably Adderall or modafinil

Good thing modafinil isn't a stimulant though

The interwebs seem to think they are

> Modafinil, a novel stimulant which has several remarkable features... [1]

> Modafinil is considered a stimulant doping agent [2]

> Adderall and modafinil are central nervous system stimulant medications (psychostimulants). [3]

Adderall.
