Love this story! I’ve never had those kind of “revelations” on LSD about technology, but I’ve never “thought” about technology much on it, it hits me more in a spiritual/astral tripping way. Writing code with it is either a super-flow state or ADD-ish chaos, where I write out a bunch of dirty concepts all over the place to lay out the idea. But I’ve had similiar inspirations and breakthroughs on MDMA, which one might say is a “LSD for babies” in the way that it also boosts serotonin and processing bandwith of your brain. I find it isn’t as much as a “I know something I didn’t before” but more like seeing your mind compress the large network of complicated, related things into a simpler framework. Like when you build a ton of code and then just refactor it all into a smaller method. Quite interesting.
