Speaking as the author of the article, when I wrote this my original outline actually phrased it in terms of alchemy (occult sense) to transmute a part of me that I had come to hate into a fundamental advantage that can set me apart from others. As I was drafting things, I gradually filed the serial numbers off of the alchemy and I ended up picking "weaponizing hyperfocus" as a more memorable term than "transmuting a source of pain to a source of joy". I was going to put this on my own website but the other people on the DevRel team asked me to make it the first post on tailscale.dev. So I made it the first post on tailscale.dev. I will take your feedback into account to improve future writing.
