    I have the opposite problem. I often forget what the last thing I copied was, or whether I copied it, and have to go back multiple times to get the copy + paste achieved. A clipboa…

    This. My very first thought upon reading this article was "this author does not have ADHD." I've achieved one of my most productive setups ever by keeping more browser tabs open, a…

    It could be, but the Wikipedia article notes that she may have also suffered a birth injury from hypoxia. Rosemary's story is so tragic and heartbreaking. Her life was filled with …

    Since tech has largely stopped hiring younger people, sounds like a problem.

    ChatGPT has been shown to spend much more time validating people's poor ideas than it does refuting them, even in cases where specific guardrails have supposedly been implemented, …

    Respectfully, I think you're missing the point that this is a societal rather than an individual concern. What will the average person's response to AI be? Probably to not recogniz…

    Why email clients have started hiding/not providing access to headers is beyond me. It seems like an anti-pattern. There have been many times recently where I've wanted to check th…

    Your concerns are extremely valid, but it is not _that_ bad in many places in America. I relocated my family specifically so that my kids could have a walkable community to live in…

    > How long did it take you to get to this point? And how do you deal/ identify/ know you are “done”? It took me around three to four years after starting medication to get to this …

    I feel this. It's so very hard to manage one's medicated-ADHD productivity in a way that feels useful but doesn't burn like a white-hot flame. My boss has been supportive and reall…

    There was a point in time (circa 2019-2020) when the madness got so severe that every new feature ended up as a microservice backed by a DB with a single table (plus a couple table…

    I was thinking the same. Grass is hard to come by in my neck of the woods right now. Maybe "touch bark?"
