Only on caffeine, though I have found that alcohol (number of drinks dependent on language) can help with debugging.


When does caffeine make you high? It just makes me jittery and easily agitated, so when I make a mistake I feel like throwing the computer out the window.


Aside from developing a physical addiction, I respond well to caffeine. More of it generally makes me happy and stimulated.


More or less drinks for functional/mostly-functional languages?


More for anything obnoxious like PHP or IE Javascript incompatibilities. Fewer for things that are hard, but not evil (including functional languages).
