Meet people that have have done a lot of drugs? Some can still function. Others, just can’t. Had an owner of a successful tech company see it fall apart because he couldn’t make decisions anymore.
Was a really nice guy, but by the end I might hire him to sweep the floors, but only with supervision.
Not sure how he’s doing now, but I imagine he’ll be homeless by some point.
“I’m not addicted, it doesn’t affect me.” Every addict I know. Seen a number of people slowly change from it until they are no longer who they are. Never in a good way. Seen some who got off it.
One because her husband has such a bad reaction (after several years of use) that he can’t ever touch it again. She became her old self again. Not quite as bright as she once was, but personality improved to the loving person I once knew.
Owner hired an extremely “senior” developer. Was told to let him do his thing.
After he spent 3 months building a web app, I asked him how he wanted to deploy it.
Perfectly straight face he said we would take his developer machine to a local data center and plug it in. We could then buy him a new developer machine.
It went downhill from there.
I ended up writing the application from scratch and deploying it that same evening.
