I found it quite effective in helping me to grind leetcode when I was job hunting while working full-time but YMMV. Perhaps I would've gotten the same gig, but I tried doing a month without it and found my ability to power through was significantly lower than with amphetamines. Maybe it was because the amphetamine gave me an artificially high amount of dopamine which offset the inherently boring nature of the task.

... How are you doing now?

Doing great! I'm doing well in the job - as expected, the actual tasks required of me are ~nothing like leetcode. My sleep is definitely better after discontinuing amphetamine use. Got a massive raise so that alleviates a lot of stress around money as well. No complaints from me, I'd do the exact same thing if I had to do it over again.
