The inverse is true as well, not having ADHD can be a disadvantage, especially for developers.
(trying to stay focused on a long task or figure something out quickly skimming through things)
- dailykoder 3y agoThat's what you'd think when you hear people talk about hyperfocus. But trust me, you don't want to have ADHD. You only want to have the good sides of it.
- theultdev 3y agoTrust me, I do. Bad side is I get a pizza and bed day. Good side is I have fun coding for 18 hours and get a week of work done.
- dailykoder 3y agoYeah but that's the point. The spectrum is way too broad. For some people that's their daily life. For me it's either I get paralyzed and depressed for a week or two and basically can't get anything done. Or I kinda work "normal" (maybe just being a lot faster than neurotypical people, but certainly not longer). 18 hour hyperfocus sessions only occour every few months for me.
- theultdev 3y agoAgreed, I was mainly responding to the "trust me you don't want it" I realize others have a differing degrees and handling of it. Thus you can't say whether one individual "wants" it or not.
