As powren said it they have been built for different purposes, dr.manhattan is an overall thinking enhancer imo, with some memory enhancement atleast in my experience.
Programmer does a lot of other things.
Alchemical Revision of Computer Science → This basically rewrites your programming experience in case you had shitty experiences, or you are burnt out from all the mindless work
Downloads knowledge into your subconcious which makes it easier to pick up stuff.
Concerning the actual learning process: An element and willingness/openess to go through trial and errors during the learning process, quickly processing and alchemizing any frustration/sense of failure that can arise when coding
Another nice feature.
Enhancement of intuition
Automatic brain refresher
glory and luck aspects
Productivity, willpower and discipline for programming
Anyways it’s a nice field.
Just don’t expect to be the #1 in programming competitions without learning any code.
I am gonna write my experience with the field:
I have been burnt out from coding in the last couple of months, thanks to multitude of factors, mostly my health. It’s hard to work when you feel like shit. I barely had the willingness to press keys on my keyboard. The field didn’t make me want to code, program, learn new stuff. But I have been seeing in the last couple of weeks I am more open to start coding again. I put back up my 2nd monitor a couple of weeks ago. I have been slowly increasing my coding time, I notice less and less blocks when I do some coding courses. I don’t know if it made learning easier, since I never really had a problem with picking up knowledge, I had more of a willigness to look for knowledge problem.
Anyways TLDR: It’s not a magic pill, it’s more like being the only one in a marathon who has running shoes and everyone else has to go barefoot. If you don’t move your legs nothing gonna happen.
I have been using the audio for 2 or 3 months, and I printed the mandala a couple of weeks ago.
