To add another decibel to this crowded chatter: to succeed at something like this while dealing with ADHD, you need a lot of support, and after that it is still very hard. Behind each of these success stories is a lot of people in the background, giving reminders, dealing with the person who has tuned out for half the meeting, excusing lapses, etc. I say this as someone with the disorder myself. (The author’s description of the “time travel” effect is on point!) I take those people in my life for granted to often. But reading stuff like this and seeing it from the 3rd person perspective is a good reminder. Also worth noting that success stories on HN are subject to the survivor bias. (Not exclusive to the “entrepreneur with adhd” trope, of course, but definitely applicable.)
