I got diagnosed in my 30s and when people ask about what meds are like, I pretty much always say it lets you decide to do something and then do it. An incredible ability to have.
Thanks for this, I definitely have a shared experience here and recognize many of the same technique biases and didn't make the connection to my ADHD. I'm now better armed to engage with others on why I see some of these things differently.
absolutely fantastic talk. As someone that's struggled with ADHD symptoms but has always put off actually going and getting a diagnosis to get medicated/help, I'm always lookin for techniques that help me cope with it just to achieve that sense of normalcy that i see in others. Some/most of these tips ive already stumbled upon myself, like DDD (tough i never knew it was DDD till this talk lol) but theres def still alot to take away. My biggest help has been writing shit down. Even if its scribbles on a notebook, or nonsense on notepad++, like Micheal mentions, context switching can be incredibly hard and it often requires a complete mental pivot to the point where we may completely forget we were even working on a previous task. Our brains have some limited af cache but theyre pretty powerful when it comes to chunking i've noticed, were often the first ones to spot patterns.
Excellent talk. Recently my therapist has suggested (after a year of weekly sessions) that I might have ADD symptoms. Whether I want to proceed with forma diagnosis and/or treatment, so many things you described have resonated with me! I'm still learning to adapt to the "new" world where not everybody can easily see things the way I do. This could not be timed better, this talk might just have saved me months of trying to understand my needs and how they might be mapping to SW engineering habits I've developed over years. (And eternally struggled to convince others to understand and adapt as well, where my failures---as I realize now---might have better explanations than I could come up with.)

Amazing talk! I had never explicitly linked my love for type systems and other static contract guarantees with my ADHD, but it makes SO MUCH sense.

I recently read that ADHD can be related to kpu/hpu (metabolic disorder(s))
Thanks for this talk.
Great talk, and, Loris, I really enjoyed the ice brea... sorry, I mean, cheese breaker in the beginning!
