Writing this article up for my site atm, Just thought i'd ask you guys to check it out and see what you think before it goes live 
vaping improves productivity – A Web Developer’s Perspective
Being a web developer isn’t always easy, It’s sometimes frustrating and draining. It’s not a case of sitting down and tinkering with a website, It’s more a case of figure out what’s going wrong with the website, and start tearing apart the files that make it up until you’ve fixed the problem.
Now when I first got into web development I wanted to develop with a language called PHP which stands for “HyperText Pre-Processor”, Scary technical language aside it’s basically the language that about 99.4% of the web is written in, the site you’re viewing this on right now is based around PHP. There was another small issue with wanting to use this language when I first started out; I still smoked.
At this point you’re probably thinking “So what, Smoking doesn’t affect your ability to do technical stuff”, But here’s the thing – it did. Basically when you’re creating a web page, a single mis-typed or missing character can break an entire web page, so it can be very tedious fixing problems.
When things would go wrong when I smoked, I’d try my best to fix it, make 2 or 3 attempts and end up in a fit of rage, promptly storming outside to light up a cigarette. This was all well and good until I came back inside and closed down the project without a second thought because at that point I’d lost the willpower to fix it any more and it would sit idle for months.
But then I started vaping, and all that would change. I’ve learned how to do more with PHP than I ever thought I’d learn how to do, I’ll bash out an entire page’s worth of code, hit run and it will just work first time (… most of the time), Why?
So like I mentioned above, when things would go wrong when I smoked, I’d storm outside, light up and then not touch the project again for a while. But now I’m vaping it’s a very different scenario, When things go wrong instead of storming outside I’ll pick up my ZMax, Lean back In my chair, take a swig of coffee and carefully read the page I’ve written up looking meticulously for errors, all the time puffing away on some Blueberry 18mg.
Because of the way I handle things when they go wrong now that I Vape, I’ve managed to build entire systems in half the time it would have taken me when I smoked. Being able to sit and vape, looking things over carefully has made me ten times more efficient than I would have been a year ago and I owe it all to that tasty puff of vapour.
It begs the question that I’m eager to find out, What kind of things have you been able to do better since you switched to Vaping? Send us a tweet and let us know!
