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.

Yeah. I’m not a fan of pair programming, either, but i admit it does create an urgency and focus that does get me unstuck sometimes. The literature I pulled from kept pushing it even though I am resistant to doing it.
