That comment fully captures my entire method of working. I have been diagnosed with ADHD though. I resisted the diagnosis for a really long time, because I'm very high achieving, but knowing really helps manage it in the long run.
Honestly, software development is a really natural field for someone with ADHD. I half joke the reason why I learned how to program is because I hate repetitive tasks, but I think my inability to concentrate on tedious work really was impetus to learn how to program.
My friends in college, all of whom focus fully on one task at a time, used to joke that it was impossible to catch me working, cause I was always doing something else at the same time.
