Most code is boilerplate and adderall makes churning that out a breeze. It also allows you to quickly redo large amounts of code etc. I went through this myself at a former place and I moved so fast that I was managements favorite person- even though looking back a lot of the design decisions were short sighted.

I eventually got better, so I have no idea how long a person can last before failing completely but it’s at least a year or two.



Thanks for the insight, that's really interesting, not just because it feeds into my bias. Those short-sighted design decisions are what I was vaguely thinking of, It is what often happens to me when I knock out a lot of work in a short period of time.
