I was diagnosed about a year ago (I'll be 34 tomorrow).

I went to the therapist to ~figure out if~ confirm that I was on the Autism spectrum, and they pointed out that it sounded like there was some ADHD too, so it was something very unexpected for me. In hindsight, very obvious too.

It's been very insightful. On the more personal side, it's helped me understand a lot about my life and why so many things went they way they went. It's now clear that some teachers were _hinting_ the issue at my parents in school, but they never picked up on that.

On a more practical side, medication has helped a lot in focusing better and work and alike. However, it IS a tool, and you need to learn to use it. Having ADHD is like aiming your attention at things with a shotgun, and medication turns that into a sniper -- you can direct your focus very well, but it takes some training to learn _how_ to do that.

It's also important to balance it out. I take far less on the weekends since that helps wind down a lot.

I came across this youtube channel recently which is pretty interesting. It's always useful to hear how others have dealt with the same struggles: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-nPM1_kSZf91ZGkcgy_95Q

+1, I've been very impressed by FreshDirect. I have a Morton Williams across the street (crowded, bad produce, iffy selection) and a Whole Foods around the block (pretty nice, but long lines and I didn't really want to go in before vaccination), but FreshDirect has just worked.

Their site and app are glacially slow, though. Not sure what's going on there. And for a while they've had some text-entry glitch that reverses text every now and then. But that's just griping.

Also, with kids it's nice having the weekly 3-4 gallons of milk just show up rather than schlepping them home from the bowels of Whole Foods.

I remember trying Qwant a few years ago and I wasn't really happy with it, both for search results and UI/UX. Staying with a Google search alternative, I went with DuckDuckGo and didn't look back (especially with access to g! to easily search on Google if ddg fails to dig up what I want)

Having a diagnosis gives you the option to try medication of several varieties that are not otherwise legally available to you in the US.

For some people the medications Just Work, with no negative side effects. If they do that for you it could be a big win, but one you can't safely or lawfully test without getting a diagnosis.

It also gives you a well-defined problem statement for tackling the "lingering family issue" and for communicating with your family about differences between your neurological wiring and theirs that all of you need to cope with, if you do come up with a diagnosis.

Why do you keep on claiming that? No it is not lower level than SQL. It's trivial to implement IndexedDB on top of of a SQL database. Good luck doing the other way around and that's the whole point of things. SQlite does everything IndexedDB does and more.... indexedDB isn't lower level, it's just more basic and limited. I have yet to see a SQL database equivalent to SQlite implemented on top of IndexedDB.

I think it was actually true in the USA around the time of the oil age. I think this because back then, it seems, you'd poke a hole in the ground and oil would spill out. Oil so good that it has all been extracted already; and such an oil is as close as we've gotten to free energy.

Thanks; #1 is the most persuasive argument for the type of site I'm envisioning (and likely massive part of "remaining 15%"). While a lot of other arguments in comments are not persuasive because they don't seem a feasible or relevant threat vector, a non-specific, generic injection of ads/malware makes more sense as a legitimate threat vector such a site could get caught in.
Any idea of user count on other networks? Is IRCnet still the largest? Are EFnet and QuakeNet still alive?

Edit: the IRC Wikipedia page has numbers from a couple of years ago. IRCnet is twice the size of EFnet and QuakeNet, freenode was three times the size of IRCnet.
Yeah, if _things_ distract you easily, it's one thing. Notifications are DESIGNED to distract you, if they do, that's not an indicator of anything.

ADHD is more like "I was cooking dinner and got distracted by the idea of cleaning the toilet, so here I am buying new socks. Oh, the unfinished dinner is still on the counter."
I used to pack shelves for a supermarket and I believe at the time (~15 years ago) we had a two hour window in which perishables could be out of the fridge. Usually we'd wheel out pallets from the stockroom fridge or freezer onto the floor, move all the boxes off the pallet into their rough locations on the floor, and then pack each box into the fridges sequentially (effectively batching up the sorting/locating/carrying work). If stock sat on the floor without getting into the fridge for more than two hours, or in the rare occasion there was a power outage and the fridges or freezers were out for more than two hours, stock had to be written off.

All that to say the allowed timeline might be longer than you expect (or desire)!

I'm staying away from Windows as much as I can. The Windows 10 home edition is so bloated with nonsense applications (of which some can't be removed directly). Also, it is odd that there are still some icons and popups that have this old Vista (and sometimes even 98) style. So incredibly messy. The entire thing feels like an American commercial during the super bowl. Bleh.

This passage could describe me as well, but as I look back on high school and college I've become convinced that if I'd been born 10-15 years later I would have been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD (I don't know if the 'hyperactivity' part is a distinction psychologists make anymore.) I struggled in school but in an unusual way: I got As in some classes and Cs (or worse!) in others.

In school balancing my attention between more than three different classes was an impossible and mystifying task, but generating very intent focus on a few very interesting things was easy (e.g. programming, playing guitar). In college, I found myself dropping down to the minimum full-time course load often, and I envied my friends at schools on the quarter system who took only three classes at a time over shorter terms.

When I started working as a programmer, I found things much easier, had fewer things to divide my focus between, and could arrange my work (mostly) as I pleased, and I had a lot of success. I also discovered coffee, and looking at my coffee consumption over the years, one might reasonably conclude I'm self-medicating with stimulants. Even now, this XKCD resonates with me: https://xkcd.com/1106/

I'm moderately curious about whether I would be diagnosed, in the spirit of self-knowledge, but I don't feel the need to engage professional help to figure it out.
Mostly the same as childhood ADHD: attention deficit, emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitivity, hyperactivity, etc.

There are many good articles around the symptoms and impacts, such as this one:

"As of today Germany is a totalitarian dystopia with no free speech"

You are totally lost, I really hope for you that you will find the way back into reality.
The fact that real programming is a mess isn't like... important! It's entirely incidental and almost entirely due to this kind of attitude of "well I got it working on my machine" that slows down making real progress

Not to mention that all this futzing around is usually indicative of leaky abstractions up the wazoo.

There are hard things in programming, sometimes. It's hard to write iterative quick sort without introducing off-by-one bugs. But most shit is easy, and a lot of hardness is around just busted tooling.
You may need the diagnosis if you want to start medication. If you don't care about medication it might be nice to know what you're suffering from (if you're suffering from it), and how this may impact your life and that of the people around you.
About thirty years ago, I went out of my way to stop my company from acquiring another company whose only product was a low-code Motif (as in X Window) code generator. My boss’s boss was very much for the acquisition, and it almost ruined our friendship when I had a long talk with his boss and put a stop to it.

I now have to admit that I more or less agree with this article. I see so much wasted effort in not enabling subject matter experts with tools that would allow them to build systems that might be good enough to just use and maintain as-as, or prove value propositions that trigger expensive conventional development efforts.

I just bought the domain low-code-AI.com that will probably be home to prototypes I have for data prep and deep learning, and simplifying working with internal knowledge graphs (the two things that I have mostly worked in in the last ten years).

I like the comment in the article that application development is becoming a team sport, and not just done by a separate IT department. Much of the real value in corporations is in subject matter experts who believe in the company and nerd-out over the minutiae of running the company. I tend to view software developers as high paid fungible workers, somewhat easier to replace than SMEs.
This is the important distinction. Achieving things efficiently is the only winning play.

In the new technology sector this is certainly true. Find your product-market fit and then optimize when you become mature and scale up.

But aren't we talking about extremely mature kernel code here? My impression is that all kernel distros in high use are optimized but they are general use software. The degree to which you may optimize software is constrained but the diversity of use cases you must support.
Don’t listen to the therapist. Find a new one.

You're undermining your own argument. Those things, collectively, were the norm for most of human history, not that "short window of time", so something else must have happened that made people optimistic about hard work yielding the fruits of a better life (however you want to define that).

I found the medication useful in interesting ways.

While on its effect, I've learn what it feels like to be focused, how ones mind works when in "not easily distracted mode", and I've very slowly learnt to apply some of these things even then not taking the medication.
This has happened in both USA & UK; in Toronto Canada, my top-2-in-the-country ISP has hijacked DNS, hijacked 404, and injected "helpful ads" at times. Every time there was a substantial backlash, but that came in on the nerds + grassroots level, not because of pre-existing laws.
So, is this just a HN thing (since engineer/STEM salaries are higher than the usual population) or do a lot of people order groceries? I've looked several times, and I couldn't figure out a way to get groceries to my house from either of the local grocery stores (one is about five minutes away, another is ten or so) without paying 30-50% more than just driving to the store myself (and that's assuming you have a big order, if you just need some extra burgers at a party it could be up to double what it is in the store).

Instacart has a bunch of fees, I'm pretty sure Publix has a fee on top (although I'm not certain), you have to tip the driver, and you'll get it hours after you order vs just running to the store and getting whatever it is you need and driving home. And the prices are inflated slightly. Even if I was super busy (or getting paid more money than I knew what to do with), that's a lot of money vs just stopping in on the way home from work or running once on the weekend.
Wow, this is like a textbook example of how not to comment on ADHD.

1 - Ritalin is not the only treatment meted out to those with ADHD

2 - ADHD isn't an "excuse". If cleaning one's desk was the solution to it, we wouldn't be discussing it so much today - and it wouldn't be one of the most studied-conditions of all time.

It's important to note that an ADHD diagnosis does not necessarily end with stimulant medication. Stimulant medication can be helpful for some people, but it's not the only way to treat ADHD. Having an ADHD diagnosis could help you choose appropriate therapy methods, self-help practices, and other self-improvement measures. Of course, an ADHD diagnosis isn't necessary to begin implementing better time management practices, so I'd suggest addressing any issues you might have with time management, time boxing, and organization whether or not you have an ADHD diagnosis.

When it comes to stimulant medication anecdotes, it's important to separate them by how long the person has been taking the medication. You'll get very different answers from people who have been taking stimulants for 1 month, 1 year, or 10 years. One of the side effects (key phrase: side effect) of the first few weeks or months of stimulant medication is a sense of euphoria and extra motivation. Be careful, because this effect fades with time.

In general, I'd recommend focusing on anecdotes from people who have been treated for at least 1 year or more, while taking any reports from someone who just started medication with a huge grain of salt. In particular, I'd recommend ignoring any reports from people who are taking excessively high doses of stimulants, dosing stimulants sporadically ("as needed" isn't standard practice), or who just started taking a stimulant medication. The realities of decades of prescription stimulant have pros and cons, which aren't apparent in the first few weeks or months.

Also beware that some psychiatrists greatly overdiagnose certain conditions. Unfortunately, some practitioners are known to overdiagnose their pet condition, from depression to ADHD to anxiety. If a practitioner is pushing you toward a diagnosis or treatment you don't feel comfortable with, don't hesitate to get a second opinion.

Compromise depends on the understanding of the hierarchy.

When ancient texts list God as Love, they note that Love is an act of (free) will (free will being considered a supernatural entity, even today).

Free will is placed high on the hierarchy, which has interesting consequences. E.g. humans are free to do horrible things, and are free to choose not to love. If humans had no free will and were all instinct, there would be no love.

ADHD meds are definitely not antidepressants.

A sense of euphoria can be a side effect of early treatment, but that's not to be confused with an actual anti-depressant effect.

Some (unfortunately many) users get stuck chasing that initial sense of euphoria with continued dose escalation requests, or by playing games to only take doses on certain days of the week or even by doubling up doses on some days. This is a road you don't want to go down.
