I think it's just complicated with ADHD. On one side it's easier for me to focus in a home, when I don't have problems with my executive function. But if I have problem with choosing what to do and to just start, then being i

I have ADHD too and for some reasons sometimes even an idea to write sth down is painful. But I still try and I think that's something that you can train yourself to do. But you really have to do that every day or even every hour.

I am not sure if I understood this question but with unmedicated ADHD you really have to write everything down, even the smallest, simplest tasks, and a lot of information for "future me". I even have to write about things that I

That's true. It's important to remember that you need also to "rewire" your brain It's often accustomed to many years of your life without meds. And many of this years were probably hard, full of anxiety and depress

I think is important to add that being able to control someone's focus is a skill that is necessary for everything in life. It's not just about work. It's the whole life - work, education, socialising, even recreation (travel

To be honest he is somehow right. It's magic for everyone but for people with ADHD (like me or you) it gets us to the level of normal people. For normal people is giving them nearly superhuman focus. I don't think the theory that

Yes, it looks like ADHD symptom. It's called hyperfocus. People with ADHD often focus on something that is giving instant gratification (like learning new thing or trying to find clever solution for a problem). The other, probably simp

I have the same experience. Even one meal with excessive carbs and I am going full ADHD.

Some people feel better with simple labels, I get it. That's how our brain works. But still Myers-Briggs is only a toy and some people use it like a sophisticated tool.

I will never understand the idea of "type". There are like billions people on earth and for some some reason all of them can be described as one of 16 types. Just that. There so many reasons that people do what they do and behave

I have this mental model that introversion is something you are born with and social anxiety is something that you can get during you life (for example, because of how other people treated you)

For some it's not a caricature. For me is how my life looks like without meds. But yeah, ADHD is probably a spectrum.

It's not so hard. As human driver I ignore every hand waving if it's not from the guy in yellow vest who is standing on the middle of the road. I think computers can learn that too.

> If you imagine a game that has characters, relationships, items, spells, and so on, it's often not that easy to model as encapsulated objects. Does each character have a list of other characters that they have a relationship with?

I don't understand. Can't you say on stand-up that you are "patiently thinking problem"? You can try to explain how this process works for other team members and maybe they will learn something new. If you can't exp

I think for neurotypical people it is easier to create some kind of system/framework for being more efficient in work. Every solved problem add some mental tools to this systems. But it is much harder for ADHD because of how our brain

Heh, same problem as ADHD developer. The one thing that was helping me was a custom in our company that we sit on zoom as much as possible. But, to be honest, I just got back to office as soon as it was possible in my country.

To be honest, inattention to details is one of typical symptoms of ADHD. So there are probably people with ADHD who do not have this problem, but I would say that most of the time they are probably misdiagnosed.

I am not sure it problems with left-right or navigation are connected with ADHD. I have ADHD and never had problems like these. But I'm more ADD without Hyperactivity and some symptoms are different.

I can't agree more. Too many people with ADHD are unhappy because they compare to normal people. You can't. ADHD is like not having an arm or leg. You never will be able to do some things and with others you will need a lot of spe

Seriously, you don't plan 14 sprints at once. You plan for one sprint, and you need to synchronize with the rest od the team. Scrum is about teamwork and product iterations, if you start from "i need API with 14 endpoints" an
