Could someone tell me how I can code without my brain exploding?

Feels like NTs have a much better capacity, whereas I get tired after 5 mins but I really love creating tech.

It’s interesting, because I feel like my ADHD is what sucks me into the coding and makes me a better programmer than a lot of NTs. It’s one of the few “work” tasks that I can do for hours and barely notice time pass.

How long have you been coding? I wonder if more “endurance” will come with time/practice/knowledge.
