ADHD isn't a documentation deficiency disorder. As a programmer with ADHD, I'm actually the documenter more often than not: my memory is very volatile, and I don't want people to interrupt me, so I prevent it by giving them t

Crazy how big a factor hospital bills and insurance were. (Insert generic European commentary on universal healthcare here.)

I'm all for fighting the pandemic and not dying, I just doubt curfews are the way to do it. They force people to gather in shops and public transportation at the same time.

You and your boss should have the common goal of you being productive. "I need a big chunk of time to do my job well" sounds very different from "attached is my list of demands".

I'm not denying the gender equality paradox, that in societies where women have the choice, they chose STEM less often. I'm not denying a genetic factor either, because I can't disprove it. What I'm arguing against is th

Where one is on a spectrum is key here. When you have high functioning autism or ADHD, sure, you think outside a box and provide a unique perspective, and there's a workplace you can bring that to. When you're too low functioning

We're still a society that treats women very differently. For instance, women have to be just the right level of assertive. Too little, and you're not respected nor listened to, you're passed for promotions... Too much, and y

Depends. I'm doing Advent of Code in COBOL. I know those problems have been solved a long time ago. I'm having fun, and that's reason enough.

It's not as much about income itself, as it's about safety. When you know you'll be able to pay your bills in the foreseeable future and you have an emergency fund, you can talk how money doesn't bring happiness or motiv

I have ADHD. My motivation never lasts a day. Good for that dude, but he's quick to generalize his personal experiences.

"Passionate" is usually BS for "has no boundaries and is willing to work overtime for free". I love my job, and I leave work at work so it stays that way.

I have 3 free accounts on Mainframes from various courses to hack around with. I looked at jobs in my area and some don't require any experience, they train you. There's also the kid who just bought a Mainframe: https:/&#x2F
