I mean if you are a programmer, and you've thrown in the towel on reading books, I don't know what to say. You may as well throw in the towel on being a good programmer as well. Has "reading books is a good idea" become an unpopular idea in 2025? I wouldn't be surprised if it has, but I think this is a really bad take

Not sure where you got that from. I simply stated a fact of life for many with ADHD. It's like saying to a person without legs that they have given up on walking. Reading a book != being good either. If you already have strong foundations and intuition, many books become just noise and don't add anything meaningful (and also a reason why person with ADHD can tune out quickly).
