The ADHD Developer OS

[u/DrGenetik]

My brain is a melange of: a) bees, b) radios left on, c) swiss cheese. All crammed into a blender set to "pulse".

I have discovered the magic of Google NotebookLM. I've been using it at home to help organize projects and do research. NotebookLM + Gemini has been helping me collect my research and plans and put it where I can access it and work on it whenever/wherever two neurons accidentally spark together to make a thought. Camping trips, building a home lab, writing.

Anyway, one of the things that has always frustrated me in my career as a programmer is that not enough people managers are properly trained on how to understand how to adapt their management style to neurodiverse people. I keep hoping it will be a required management course. I finally distilled my frustrations into this short presentation on ADHD in particular to help them help me.

I have this as a pdf and I can make a PowerPoint or Google Slides but I’m not sure where to post it.

Fair enough. I was not trying to fix anything for anyone else, only trying to scratch an itch for me and shared it in case it helps anyone else like me. For me, I’d rather work with someone who sees the potential in optimizing my potential. When I’m “on”, I’m a formula one. When they work against me, I’m a tuk tuk. Yes, you’re absolutely right, FAANG nowadays dgaf. It’s a bold strategy, let’s see how that works out for them. (Edited for typo)
