       @randomgeekFirst things first. 🤜🤛This post (and article) really hit home for one who was also a dev, but didn't find out about his ADHD until late career. I really likedthe "superpower myth" excerpt in the article.ADHD is not a superpower in and of itself; it's just a different setof powers that complement any dev team, from a slightly differentstandpoint.What I found in my own personal experience was the ADHD mind thinksin an associative, hub and spoke manner as opposed to the linear mindwhich prefers the point A to point B, etc. approach. The associative thinking biased mind tends to excel in coding activitiesthat involve "RE": repair (troubleshooting), reverse engineering, andrefactoring, possibly similar to Liam Neeson's "special skillset" in the movie Takenand applying them to code! 😊

       I poured and ignored a cup of coffee while writing this post. Left it right there on the kitchen counter.Ah, still hot. Good.This is part of why I generally drink from travel cups. That and the fact that I can be a very sloppy drinker.
