这篇 arXiv 论文对程序员的大麻使用情况、认知和动机进行了调查。标题显示它关注这一群体如何使用大麻、如何看待其影响以及背后的动机;具体样本与结论以论文原文为准。
HN 关注点:HN 读者围绕自身或同行的吸食经历,争论大麻究竟提升还是损害编程生产力。

亲历每日重度使用者称已分不清大麻是帮助还是阻碍,但享受且自认成瘾。
讲个轶事:我是大厂“程序员”,每天从早到晚抽,现在已经说不清它帮我还是害我。但如果你一直抽,评论里那些故事大多不会发生。对我来说它只是提神,剂量绝不算微剂量,大概每天 1-2 克。但一直活在嗨的状态是另一回事。也许哪天会戒,但目前没理由。可能有用可能没用,但我喜欢嗨,而且肯定已经上瘾了。

Anecdotal but I'm a "programmer" at BigTech™ and smoke all day every day, and at this point I can't tell if it helps me or hinders me, but when you smoke all the time, most of these stories you are hearing about in the comments don't happen. At this point in my life, it's just a little "pick me up". It's by no means a micro dose as I probably smoke a gram or 2 a day. But when you live high it's a different kind of beast. I'll probably stop one day, but at the moment I don't see a reason to. Maybe it helps, maybe it doesn't, but I like being high and at this point I am addicted for sure anyway.
亲历数十年重度使用者自述高生产力,并形成隐秘的高科技重度使用者互助网络。
我几十年来每周抽一盎司 Indica,同时作为首席/主管软件工程师参与过数十个高可见度产品,生产力极高。我属于一个重度吸食的高科技群体,成员来自大家日常使用的公司,包括创业者和职业研究人员。我每天用 THC 加咖啡因开始一天,然后进入持续全天的深度工作与研究专注。久而久之,同类的高科技重度吸食者互相识别,形成一个半隐秘网络,在未合法地区互相支持,有时在大展会见面,或发现几个人同时出现在机场,就一起聚到吸烟室。

I've been a heavy, 1 oz. of Indica a week smoker for decades, while being an extremely productive lead and principal software engineer on dozens of highly visible tech products. I am part of a heavy smoking, high tech collective of startup and career research individuals from companies people use everyday. I start my day with a combination of THC and caffeine, which folds into a deep work and research focus lasting the entire day. Over time, fellow high tech heavy smokers have identified one another, forming a moderately secret heavy smokers network that support one another in non-legal places, sometimes meet at big conventions, or we realize a number of us are at an airport at the same time and all meet in the smoker's den.
质疑吸大麻后连宜家说明书都跟不上,清醒后轻松完成,质疑其助益。
圣诞节我给三个孩子买了书桌。哄他们睡下后抽了点大麻,结果震惊地发现自己连宜家书桌的说明书都看不懂。很挫败,决定第二天清醒时再试。第二天我超级震惊:清醒时照着装居然那么容易。

I got my three kids desks for christmas. Put them down to bed for the night and smoke a little weed. I was shocked how I couldn’t follow ikea desk instructions. Got frustrated and decided to try again sober. I was super shocked the next day how easy it was to follow when sober.
补充大麻主要提升处理枯燥任务的动力,而非解决复杂问题。
对我来说,大麻并不主动帮助解决问题或头脑风暴,更像是动力增强剂。晚上 11 点,当我有一堆不太费脑的任务要硬着头皮做完时,它很有帮助,能让例行任务更有意思。它甚至给我足够动力去重构和改进代码库中原本可能忽略或扔进待办 backlog 的部分。

For me weed is not really something that actively aids in problem-solving or brainstorming, but rather acts as more of a motivation booster. When it's 11pm and I have a handful of less-demanding tasks to slog through, that's where I've found weed to be a lot of help. It helps make otherwise routine tasks more engaging. It even gives me sufficient motivation to actively refactor and improve parts of codebase that I might've otherwise ignored or ticketed away in the backlog.
