Ok sure, but how does it work? I clicked around your website but there doesn't seem to be a description.

Minimum I've seen was 1.5g. Usually between 2 and 3.5.

The issue with psychedelics is not that their ingestion might kill you, but rather what you will do to yourself or others while on them. No amount of reading and Youtube videos can prepare you for a strong psychedelic experience. Once in it, you have to go through it, and accidents do happen.

I've found that people who do psychedelics in repetition usually _think_ they are some sort of key to their problems, they'll help them fix themselves, yada yada yada. One trip is enough for people for whom that is true. If you have to do them repeatedly, the issue is elsewhere. I am against full-on prohibition, but also skeptical about the "pro-psychedelic" sentiment in vogue.

The typical SE path I'm familiar with looks like:

1. Write _anything_ that works. Dependencies, code quality don't matter. Code is idiosyncratic but can be understood by a reviewer.

2. Apply abstractions _everywhere_. Re-implement data structures and algorithms (maybe unknowingly). Code is now very hard to understand.

3. Figure out one is completely unable to update or even maintain code written 6 months ago. Rewritten code suddenly becomes clearer, one begins to think about programming as an craft and not just hacking things on a keyboard until you get the desired result. Dependencies, judicious comments, code quality and a sane terseness become important. The journey starts here.

Personally, step 1 was very short as I learned to program on the job. I was responsible for code, and so I needed to get it together quick. A language like Python makes 2 very easy, and 3 came very quickly too since, as I mentioned, I was responsible for the code (one man team).

I have met people who work at large institutions who are stuck at 1. Others with degrees in CS who are stuck at 2. Some just "get it" and go straight to 3. But typically, the real journey starts when you need to go on with work but your prior self is preventing you from being efficient. You need to get rid of that prior self's work to move on.

Try the Canadian Multilingual French layout on a standard QWERTY keyboard.

à is \

è is '

é is /

ç is ]

accent grave is right-alt+[+letter

and

"specials" are right-alt+num (±@£¢¤¬{}[]) but for any glyph used in programming, I usually switch back to US keyboard using alt+caps-lock. Ça fonctionne très bien pour moi!

I see this is a WIP without support for the Scheme numerical tower, tail calls, continuations, etc. If you're looking for such features, Gambit Scheme can compile to JS with those features working and comes at ~600kb gzipped (for the _whole_ system). You can see it in action at https://try.gambitscheme.org but I don't know if it's the latest version.
