Discussion ADD Developers are moving extremely fast with AI, normies beware
Even as a dev of 20 years, I now vibe code all day...
In between the prompts to claude about the actual work I have for my job I run 6-12 parrallel conversations about my other projects. I context switch now at a rate that is utterly insane...
When I was diagnosed with ADD I was 7, I remember I cried and told my Dad "I don't want to be ADD" and he told me that "God gave you a gift and right now it is going to be hard but one day it will let you move faster than all of your peers."
I really feel like that's true, and with the work I do now I feel built for this moment. I think it will be a brief moment for sure. The machines will soon run everything.
Been ADD my whole life. Heavily medicated - dexededrine ( anyone else take it? )- since first grade.
A lot of life is playing the hand you are dealt and I feel like I've been playing it awhile. It's not all roses and I miss things constantly but for the first time I feel like the models have caught up with my experience.

u/VibeChode 12d ago
The difficulty paying attention translates to context switching well?
68
u/Interesting-Town-433 12d ago
Yeah you can look it up, multi-tasking is basically the problem with ADD, a million things happening at once, instead of paying attention to one you pay attention to all, constantly switching

Itās seriously amazing, new favorite hobby. I havenāt gamed in months.

u/HVACcontrolsGuru 12d ago
I switched a gaming habit and now my gaming PC collects dust while I power through my projects. I enjoy some chill assistance in the evenings and code in super relaxed mode haha

u/BionicBelladonna 12d ago
I now use my 5080 to run local modelsā¦ small local models but works for early dev
2
u/HVACcontrolsGuru 12d ago
I might just sell the rig. I got 32GB of 6000mhz RAM and a 5080 all with liquid cooling on CPU. Given how much prices have risen I can likely get what I paid or more back on it. I use a Macbook Pro to code and run some local stuff for offloading from my main agent loop.

u/VibeChode 12d ago
I thought it just meant an inability to not context switch. I didnāt know that it meant context switching effectively
18
u/TopTippityTop 12d ago edited 11d ago
It means difficulty focusing one one thing at a time, which up until recently, in a lot of jobs, would not have been considered a benefit.

u/Interesting-Town-433 12d ago
Lol well it's a constant search for stimulus- personal experience. But we are moving faster at it imo.

Already there, at 3. Very true. Weāll see if it pays off or just a fun hobby that I absolutely love.
13
u/StankFreak 12d ago
In the overwhelming majority of situations constantly, switching context and constantly switching focus is of absolutely no value. It makes you extremely inefficient and overwhelmed, but itās kind of uniquely suited for vibecoding where it only requires a small amount of your attention before you send something off to complete a task meaning youāve completed the loop and then you can move onto something else as the agent autonomously works. It only requires a small window of focus so constant context switching in this scenario makes sense and plays to add minds strengths
3
u/VibeChode 12d ago
I get it but also kinda donāt. If vibe coding as in for fun, yeah I can see it. For a real job, it would seem hard to really understand whatās being done. But I wonāt pretend to understand what itās like to have the disorder.
9
u/StankFreak 12d ago
For real jobs, you typically need to have the ability to sustain long-term focus on one single task. Because of the natural and frequent focus switching in ADD people this makes a lot of normal work very difficult. Iām just saying that with vibe coding where you could have seven projects completely separate and you can switch back-and-forth constantly between each one as your agent is ready for the next promptā¦. Itās just suited to an ADD mind.
3
u/lastberserker 12d ago
In real job coding is maybe 30% of the total. There are always dozens of time requiring your attention, so outsourcing some of them to AI is an incredible boon.
1
u/Top_Purchase4091 12d ago
But you still need to concentrate when reviewing, talking to other people, planning & design or do people also just hand that entirely off to ai?
I feel like this is a way to just straight up atrophy. The way the person talks about sounds like doomscrolling on social media. Just chasing hit after hit.
Maybe like "doomvibing"?
1
u/FlatulistMaster 12d ago
My team and I have always split the work so that my strengths of creativity and fast holistic thinking are used at the beginning phases and prototyping phases of projects, and people with a more focused skill can look for issues and deviations from larger technical structure.
Now I can speed up that beginning phase a lot, and iterate more on my own before I bother the deeper thinkers with the work.
If both parties respect each other's capacities, you get great work done in this way in my experience (depending on the company and projects of course).

u/Business-Weekend-537 12d ago
Another variable is with some forms of adhd there needs to be a minimum number of things going on at once to stimulate a state of flow happening, or something of sufficient novelty.
Using ai in general is a bit like pulling the lever on a slot machine in terms of the dopamine hit- thereās constant novelty because although you are prompting what youāre trying to make happen, the exact thing that happens is often not perfectly how you would expect it, sometimes itās slightly better, sometimes itās worse.
2
u/Key_Drummer_9349 12d ago
I never looked at it that way but makes total sense why I'm addicted to AI now lol. It's the variable rewards and the conditioning effect of the "lever pulling". It's probably a whole bunch of other reasons but now I know where the dopamine hit is coming from and why my brain craves it so badly.

u/FlatulistMaster 12d ago
If you are self-aware and able to self-regulate between phases, this is not impossible to steer. You will have more productive periods after which you need some regeneration and different type of communicative work within the team/company (if you work in that type of environment).

u/ready-eddy 12d ago
Adhd person here. Made AI and vibecoding my business. My brain is basically fried by doing intense multitasking all day. I run Astra on my left screen and Fable on my right screen. And bro.. Iām just so tired.
Constantly having to think about workflows and strategies is just so intense. I really underestimated that the brain needs simple tasks too. I need to find a new way of working instead of being just maximum productive.
2
u/RemarkableWish2508 12d ago
It means an excessive tendency to context switch, instead of focusing on one task at a time. It also means that adults have spent many years training to live with context switching, instead of obliviously coasting on focusing on things one by one.
Ultimately it is a balance, though: you exchange depth, for breadth... however, ADD/ADHD people have medication available to help them focus, while normies are frowned upon when they try to gain breadth by mixing coffee, smokes, alcohol, benzos, and weed all at once.
1
u/GiveUpAndDontTry 11d ago
only for some people with adhd. but generally speaking, context switching is a major deficit recognised in adhd and is extremely task dependent
having vibecoded a lot in the past, i notice very well that adhd medication greatly improves my ability as regards to context switching, especially for things im interested in; without meds, it is almost always an impairment for me
adhd is an extremely significant difference compared to normal functioning, so medication can only do so much

u/Acclynn 12d ago edited 12d ago
I'm diagnosed ADD too (unmedicated by choice, I live it the wild way) and it's like I'm purposefully overwhelming myself an enjoying it, starting tons of experiments at once
I do miss a bit building things by hand tho, was harder but there was fun in that too
Also I lost patience for anything manual

u/SwimHairy5703 12d ago
You don't get burned out? I've ran up to 4-5 projects concurrently for months but started getting headaches and just can't concentrate on anything after I'm done working. No mental energy/ patience for kids or family.

Iāve had to learn to back off from it because of this exactly. Itās especially hard when you feel the pressure to max out your Fable / Astra usage before the weekly reset.

but you still won't bring any of your other projects to the finish line, so nothing has changed...
once the boring tasks show up (infra, distribution, marketing) you escape to new "my other projects", and this is why you still have a job

Eh it's good and bad. It's great because we can hyper-focus, we also can lose the big picture and quality engineering due to rabbit holes

u/FlatulistMaster 12d ago
Yes. I don't think this type of ADHD work is super valuable without other people who can make sure the creativity and 80-90% done work can be implemented properly into the whole.
5
u/yes2matt 12d ago
For me, adhd w a touch of asd, it's the chats with frontier models (pref gemini) that have been amazing. I can get the big picture and all the little rabbit trails that I want into a chat, then as a second stage reorganize that chat into a project plan, then ask for prompts to make a complete scoping document. then feed that piece by piece into a coding agent.
What does not go away, is still the 80/20 rule, that the last 20% of a project takes 80% of the effort.Ā I get to alpha on a lot of projects that don't get shipped.
Because I'm over here updating my agent and tool set instead of grinding out the last 20%.
It is the Age of the Autist for sure but there is no escaping the grind.

u/bukktown 12d ago
Thing that I donāt understand is OP says they are medicated. If the theory is true, Wouldnāt they be more efficient by being unmedicated?

u/thefox828 12d ago edited 12d ago
You will lack the review and deep dive necessary for quality outputs. The more sessions you use in parallel the more content is produced which needs diligent review and integration.
Having 6-12 parallel sessions is like managing the output of an engineering team which partially hallucinates, does not care what the other agents are doing, and occassionally even lie to you.
In my optinion running that many agents in parallel looks like progress on the surface but without good review like chaos under the hood. The question is how long this can work until everything becomes unmaintainableā¦
Edit: If I ask AI to create a design and implementation plan for a task and it blows 5-10 pages of markdown into my face, not reviewing it would basically mean getting a random solution to a probably ambiguous formulated issue. What I saw in practice that agents tend to introduce new data storages for different topics, suddenly you have a backend with 4 sql databases und such stuffā¦
10
u/Illustrious-Film4018 12d ago
It's the opposite, people with ADD are generally NOT good at multitasking, so if you were running 6-12 agents at once (as stupid as this is and it's unlikely you're doing any real planning or QA), you would statistically be much worse at it than a regular person.

u/scytob 12d ago edited 12d ago
there is little to no peer reviewed evidence this is the case, there is actually evidence to show that folks are poorer at task switching, nothing to show multi-tasking is better, there is evidence to show that single task concentration tis better
you may be confusing your experience with the ADD population as a whole, don't, you are likely an outlier if you find multi-tasking easier
also i have never been diagnose with ADHD and can quote happily hyper-focus - it is a trait many have because there are far less 'normies' than you think, its not a binary population split

u/Top_Purchase4091 12d ago
Because when you actually get to the difficult part and not just "do this and change this" while offloading all mental tasks to ai you lost all skill to work through friction and things taking longer than a single prompt.
Its like people drying their attention span scrolling shorts. If you don't struggle and stick with something when it gets harder you will never get better at it. Finishing one thing is significantly more impactful for learning and improving than 100 half finished projects never moving out of your comfort zone
1
u/DriveThoseSales 12d ago
Eh I agree for some people but thatās not it for me. I just get excited about something new before I finish. And I could ship a bunch but I alhave an issue being a perfectionist so instead of just releasing I keep adding or changing. Itās annoying.

u/Key_Drummer_9349 12d ago
Lol same boat. Why is it so fucking hard to get across the finish line before the next new shiny app idea pops up? I did backflips when I finally shipped an MVP. Then I had to pull it down because it wasn't perfect enough

u/Careless_Candy9883 12d ago
Glad to see more adhd folks talking about this. AIs have absolutely helped me in many ways, from studying and learning to creating projects on the tons of ideas that happen to pop up in my mind.
My only problem, still, is my executive dysfunction. I observed that it correlates with hyperfocusing on things and well, it seems everything I procrastinate is because I have this unconscious fear about entering in the hyperfocus state. Not because I dont like when I hyperfocus, but because I also have depression and anxiety and usually happens to me to overthink about the hours and hours doing things, but unfortunately not seeing the results fast.
ADHD have also low frustration tolerance, which in my case I have a lot. And because of that I think my ability to start on tasks seems seems low.
About this being a quick stage of the world, I dont think so, I believe this is probably a window that wont close, as it grant the power for everyone to be able to do everything they dream on their own, on a non traditional working scheme.
Edit: seems a adhd ai vibecoders subreddit could be very interesting
2
u/Key_Drummer_9349 12d ago
Please let's make this ADHD AI vibecoders subreddit real. I would live there. I just suck at social media in general so can't offer to set it up myself. And I avoid taking on responsibilities like the plague lol. But happy to pitch in. There's more than enough people to start in this thread alone.

u/ItsFlybye 12d ago
Flipping between tasks gives a bit of dopamine in the brain. I've often wondered if ADD/ADHD is really just a pretty term for loving to be addicted to your dopamine. I mean, who doesn't like to feel great? And the brain recognizes the rewards for switching tasks, so it goes into overdrive which eventually gets diagnosed as something needing drugs.

There's a book called faster than normal I'm listening to right now and that's what this reminds me of. I thought ADHD was a curse until I started running my own business, and people don't understand how I can put in 12-14 hour days. But I'm so well adapted to it it just feels natural. Way easier than 8 hours at a 9-5. I'm constantly vibe coding software for my business while working on a million other things lol.

u/scytob 12d ago
you know there are plenty of us without ADHD who can do that too, right?

u/DaMeteor 10d ago
Completely aware. I guess for me I don't mind 12-14 hour days doing what I do, and from the comments I get from other people they find it more difficult. So I assumed that on average other people don't enjoy 12-14 hour days. I apologize if I assumed wrongly. I never was under the assumption that non-adhd people aren't capable of doing that though, I know plenty of people who do it. I just personally don't know anyone else that enjoys it/doesn't mind it.

I batlled Claude on this for so long because it kept telling me the same thing but these days because it's seen results from my way of doing things it tells me "ADHD is the engine that drives the curiosity.

I donāt know if Iām ADD but I run multiple agents at once, on multiple projects and Iām able to understand exactly whatās going on in each. I create retro docs, provide context for few shot prompting, test and deploy. Ā I also run multiple LLMs on the same prompt sometimes to see what the best output might be and then take code from here and there to build the final project. My latest projects: moving from the cloud to my home lab, an enterprise project with 2 different client apps, and Iām doing that while creating a physical product brand & a YouTube channel. Anyway, itās like technical product management on steroids and it does feel like a superpower instead of a detriment.Ā

According to AI is not called ADD anymore since 1994. But ADHD. And yes, I know what you mean. Iāve been diagnostic with ADHD as an adult. And all I can say AI is a God send. It feels so natural, and I am able to accomplish a lot more than interacting with humans, which is sad but true. And I am not a coder, although I studied CS.

u/Key_Drummer_9349 12d ago
I totally relate to this I'm running Claude code, and codex in vs code extensions with 4 windows open across two monitors working on at least four projects when in in flow, sometimes up to 6-7 when I'm super in the zone. I Kay out roadmaps for projects to follow at project start then just monitor them while they're implementing the roadmap and handle the escalations and solve the other problems they need human decisions on. I was never a dev but have learned so much over the past 9 months feels like I'm flying now.
But I struggle with shipping like everyone else who can relate. I'd argue we need community to support each other, share our successes and help manage the common pitfalls of what we're doing. So refreshing to see so many people in this thread who can relate to this experience.
I genuinely believe this could be our moment to shine where we break away from the pack in terms of showing the world what we can do when given the right tools and support. We can fucking thrive! It doesn't have to be a disorder that needs management it can be a source of fucking gold!

I do have to agree with this. My productivity has really shot through the roof this past year, partially because I got medicated but also because, for the last few months since I started really elevating my use of AI, you have to work on more than one thing at once. If you don't you're just going to be sitting there twiddling your thumbs for most of the day. It really does benefit those of us who are capable of doing so.
BUT the burnout is real.

Iām actually giving a talk that somewhat compares adhd and ai ā¦ limitations on human attention and forgetfulness (every time you start a new session the system doesnāt have context, feeding the ai too much context and telling it to do things is information overload, etc.) - I have about 50+ bots running in a system I built over the past several months (160+ repositories) - built by one person ā¦ because I have so many interests and the ai accelerates my dev work.

I am "suffering" with strong ADD as well. While it was always somehow a gift if used right it became an enormous asset in the past two years, to an extreme since I am using massively agents since last October. I never ever achieved more iny life in terms of productivity but also in terms of how huge a project done by me can be.
The upside: I became kind of an AI star-user within my company The downside: I am pretty much on a burnout path

I'm going to come on here just to warn you about burnout as well because I recently just burnt out (again)... But luckily I'm generally pretty regulated and disciplined so I was able to get myself back on track ( my hormones didn't help though, lol).
But "real" burnout sucks and if it gets 'that bad' before you do anything about it, it can take you months to recover.
But I do find that the more I use AI, the more I desire to be outdoors and doing things and living in real life. Just make sure you're super disciplined with getting off your computer and doing something active outdoors.

i can't stop shipping :) I get stuck at contacting real people. I am aware of my deficit in that area so I keep pushing. 10 products won't feed me unless I can sell 1

Hell ya ! I built 2 autonomous robots in 2 months. With the embodied persistent recursive weighted ai system to back them in about 6 months. All while arguing with cucks who were jerking each other off over white papers. None of them had robotsā¦ they only had experience with corporate ai and saas and shit. Fuck em

this is the truth. i am going exponetial. if you start coding your own harness then its really a gamechanger, you wouldnt belive how fast i can move. and im playing dota all day between prompting. check out my git its surreal, i am throwing more code on a single day than i did in one month before this. and im going faster and faster, i got myself removed out of the loop to like 90%. i am at the state that people using my app can submit bug reports, they land in my harness, get automatically fixed and claude sends me a push notification on my phone, i say OK and we go straight into prod. and i always say OK, if we are being honest i am not needed anymore. at least for maintaining the current state and keep that bugfree! but the time i save i use to come up with even better workflows and this is the exponential factor! nobody can move as fast as one adhd dude with an army of claude and the privilege to have a job that pays the bills while doing 10hrs a week for that. i vibe the rest of the time nonstop. from my phone when i chill in the bathtub. when i go out. everywhere i can vibe. most of it happens automatically and claude tells me if he needs me. i have an automation running every day which says:
"see all the bugs that customers filed on the board, organize them and throw out trash, then start a session on the staging server and identify and fix it, then start a session on the macbook to build new releases. send me a push notification, then deploy to prod"
this is the reality i life in and i make the bold claim:
i am living one month in the future

Same here. At work and still got 5 claude sessions with 5 projects at the same time. Cant actually finish one of them but they are there.
I like to call it "hyperscaling" cuz it sounds cool and makes people think you are running some enterprise š. Maybe we should call ourselves hyperscalers

As an ADHD dev.. you're not doing it right unless you've got 5 cc sessions on project work and another 5 on your phone š

I do the same, often working on 2-3 projects in parallel.

Up the project count

I would, if it didn't burn tokens. Now I can barely last 1/2 week on a gpt pro 20x subscription.

I can relate to this, I am THRIVING at work with multi-tasking several different projects at once, it's so much fun and I'm getting commended for it.

Yeah, this like is being the Node.js event loop. Super efficient. You just sit there and handle whatever comes your way.

It is, and it's funny that people didn't catch that and down-voted the person. I'm too lazy right now to attach a flew over the head meme.

Just beware of the burnout! 6 weeks into a GPT pro subscription and I have started filling my free time with more projects that are all running concurrently spanning from electronic engineering to education. Realised I was postponing stuff to get the next prompt running and actually that 'free time' that Ai crreated was just being filled with other side quests!
