I've basically stopped doing weed altogether though, except on holidays and vacations when I really feel comfortable forgetting all responsibility for awhile.

That may be the case but we should also be careful to not assume that people under the influence are able to accurately evaluate its impact on their performance. Nor should we extrapolate on the general impact based on the experiences of some. Not everyone smoking that jazz cabbage is a Steve Jobs. And there’s no guarantee that the change it has is good for that person (eg triggering some latent susceptibility to sch…
I do like the sound of "jazz cabbage", but I think you're using it derisively and possibly with a tinge of racism. And that makes me sad.

Can you expand on this a bit more? I've never heard about this. Are you saying when I go down to my local dispensary that it's owned by China? Or that the local bud is not actually local?
A large portion of the grow ops are owned by Chinese groups. This is "common knowledge" in circles where people want to grow weed as a business, at scale, and scope out their competitors. This is their competition. The small local growers are not a competition anymore than your mom and pop business is competition to Amazon. People find this surprising, but they've never stopped to ask themselves where did all that we…
> "... 35% of our sample has tried programming while using cannabis, and 18% currently do so at least once a month..." Selection bias.
Is it? It seems like you're comparing your anecdotal evidence against their (at least somewhat) scientific survey, which makes it more likely that you experience selection bias.
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 t…
Smoking definitely helps me reach a deep state of focus but unfortunately it's fairly brittle (cars idling nearby, other subtle things can be really distracting) and requires a long period of stage-in if I haven't worked on something for a while (I have little long-term memory for code details).

I haven't ever been high during work hours, but I have tried to program while high. I tunnel vision too hard to get things done. I find it impossible to debug or think about broad solutions. I also am under the suspicion that I'm dumber when high.
Ever vaporized or tincture/small edible instead of smoke?

I suspect the stoner coders are the exact opposite, and would experience similar effects when sober.

Yes. Though I do not smoke regularly and it has been probably a year or more since I smoked, even though it is legal in my state.
