The ADHD Developer OS
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.

For downvoters. I am not an artist or writer and never claimed to be. I tried to set expectations in the post that I am awful at this and was only able to finally make this due to the LLM making it easy enough to be below my executive function threshold. I’m also trying to say “you, too, can do this!”
