I wonder if maybe it’s not so deep. These days, Python is the 2nd best choice for just about anything, making it a sensible decision for just a about everything.
Another huge advantage of opinionated frameworks is that someone who knows the framework will know how to navigate a new codebase day one. As a consultant, I've seen this countless times. So much so that unless I'm working on a pet project I like to stick to as much of a 'plain vanilla', idiomatic use of an opinionated framework like Rails or Django as possible.
As an adult-diagnosed ADHD person and someone who's taken Concerta (time-released ritalin) for about 12 years, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss a differing experience of stimulants as a myth. I had stopped taking it for about one year while I was undergoing chemotherapy, and recently started taking it again, so I have a pretty clear recollection of what it feels like to get started. No euphoria, but a feeling of mental fog clearing.
I've never experienced euphoria from stimulants, and I've always felt like I've processed caffeine differently than neurotypical individuals. I've spoken with several people with ADHD who have the same experience. Perhaps it's more accurate to say that not everyone feels euphoria from stimulants and there's some correlation between ADHD and stimulant non-euphoria.
I do agree with the titration schedule being a good idea. With any potentially mood-altering substance it seems wise to start slow. It gives time to gradually understand its effects (some good, some less so), and after some experimentation, I decided that a low dose was best for me to provide just enough of the "glasses for the brain" effect without otherwise affecting my mental state.
Anecdotal, perhaps. But enough anecdotes to point to some signal in the noise.
