Yeah... Adderall only works effectively if you're getting good quality sleep. Also doesn't prevent you from falling asleep, thats called caffeine or provigil. Additionally, the dosage needed to keep you awake will also likely make you act like a distractable manic mess. that's also ignoring that if you're not sleeping, your backend shit can't be that tricky.

Point being, the metaphors in the blog post are both in bad taste (some people actually need adderall et al for medical reasons), the lifestyle described is unsustainable, and if I'm working with someone who's so widely sought, I'd be celebrating their awesome and feel flattered they think I'm worth their time.

Or a recipe for a great time?
