Me too, though I prefer dexamphetamine.

I've given dex to other programmers on occasion; they're often amazed at how much it helps them concentrate and get things done.

It's kind of like coffee that WORKS.

Hence my favourite programming beverage: grind your beans, sprinkle finely powdered amphetamine on the top of the basket, and make yourself a nice motherfuckiato.

Any of them ever end up with a bad amphetamine habit after that?

That's mighty addictive stuff, for someone with the wrong combination of genetics and psychology, this could be really bad.

The drug war is full of nonsense - but amphetamines are regulated for a good reason.
