> That so many people working in software don’t have deep hardware expertise or are not familiar with data centers plays to that hand.

I like to remind myself that AWS is 20 years old. That's an entire generation of people from devs to C-Suite that likely don't know anything else. For many of these people all they know about hardware is their laptop. All they know about bandwidth is what they pay their local ISP. All they know about storage is (maybe) USB flash drives and what Apple charges for 256GB vs 512GB.

This is not a criticism. More of a reality check to myself and others that at this point not a lot of people outside of bigger cloud and ISPs know what an Autonomous System is or what buying transit and peering costs. Nor have they bought a cabinet of bare metal or talked to a co-lo provider.

> Not a criticism, just an observation from my experiences.

Exactly!

So you probably do feel like shit, but its constant rather than something that you notice all the sudden after eating way too much salty food, and your body has probably adjusted to the elevated sodium levels over time, so the side effects are diminished (but, according to this paper, still has a significant effect on your heart health).

> because the disorder can simply be redefined

Respectfully, disorder already has a meaning. And it's a meaning enshrined in medicine and law (ADA). "Redefining" disorder does nothing but hurt people who have a disorder.

And ADHD has no correlation with IQ (which I think you know, but it' not just a focus sliding scale either). It's a disorder that encompasses the symptoms of time blindness, a lack of ability to control focus, emotional disregulation, rejection sensitivity dysphoria, reduced working memory, an inability to form habits, and executive dysfunction.

It's also associated with a physical change in the brain.
I had this happen at my last job. Got a new boss who was closer to the situation and ended up bouncing me over the course of a six month pip. I was so bored, and the hard problems always got taken by the same guy who they’d just hand stuff of to.

At my new job I interviewed into a promotion and am a team lead. My focus is always on whatever is the most challenging technical tasks. Once we finish building a product, someone else takes over maintenance and we get a new project. It’s fantastic because I’m always at the edge of what I know and writing brand new stuff, which I exactly what I love. I find this deeply satisfying and it helps rebuff that feeling of being a fraud. I definitely prefer to be a medium sized fish in a small pond (where I’m a pretty smart guy at a place that doesn’t necessarily need world class engineers) vs being a medium sized fish in a large pond.

The more boring my work is the worse I do at my job, and I’m lucky that in my position at this point I basically only focus on the novelties and intricacies of the most challenging tech problems the company has to offer.
This isn’t even close to true, fwiw. You can easily find stats on EV batteries. There are early Teslas out there with 200k+ miles after 10+ years with minimal degradation.
FWIW, this comment falls afoul of the guidelines as well, and is even less useful since I did follow my opening with a real discussion. To quote the guidelines, report it to the moderators if you feel it's sufficiently problematic.

Almost anyone can diagnose if a person is blind if they’re acting in good faith but ADHD is far harder to pin down. At the moment the layman standard seems to be “can you convince a doctor/nurse practitioner to prescribe you amphetamines?”

The ADA covers mental disabilities like ADHD so anyone who actually needs accommodations can receive them if they follow the proper channels and get a legitimate doctor specializing in ADHD to diagnose them. In a career spanning nearly two decades I’ve only ever met one other person who followed the proper ADA accommodation route with HR (as opposed to accommodations for blindness, deafness, or chronic pain which were legion).

Speaking for myself, even with a legit diagnosis it was little more than a cover and self justification for drug abuse (yay NP who prescribed both Vyvanse and Adderall).
Europeans might not consume healthier diets than Americans, but they move around a lot more, the portions are smaller, and the regulations on food are much tighter, so in the end they end up healthier. But, if you didn't walk much more than the distance between your bed and the toilet, and the toilet to your car, and your parking spot to your desk (or worse for WFH employees, just the trip around the supermarket), you, too, would probably be worse off for consuming the same amount of sodium day to day as the average Chinese person or European.
Liking video games sometimes leads to modding video games, and modding video games is a gateway drug for "real" programming.
I had switched it to that, but then noticed that joebig had used the subtitle, which is also legit.
Good tests reduce your cognitive load; you can have more confidence that code will work and spend less time worrying that someone will break it.

BTW, I think above are the best metrics to use for tests. Actually measuring it can be hard, but I think keeping track of when functionality doesn't work and people break your code is a good start.

And I think all of this should be measured in terms of doing the right thing business logic-wise and weighing importance of what needs testing based on the business value of when things don't work.
Residential solar was a terrible idea. It only works during the day, it is hard to store, and you can't efficiently transport it to where there is demand without a major overhaul of the grid.

It would have made so much more sense to just build nuclear plants along side desalination plants, but the oil industry convinced everyone that nuclear is a scary boogie monster.

> labeling ADHD a disability is a category error

No, it's not. According to doctors, scientists, and the ADA.

That factual inaccuracy aside, would you consider someone with chronic back pain to not have a disability since they can take heavy painkillers every day for the rest of their lives? Or someone who is legally blind but who can put on glasses?

Because I am high in trait orderliness, conscientiousness and industriousness.

That’s why startups appeal to me, because they appeal to my nature. It’s in my nature to desire being productive.

So asking “why must you always be productive” on a site full of startup enthusiasts … well, you’re going to get a lot of the same answers
Consider the various restrictions on tobacco advertising. Now think about how newly legal gambling advertises. What regulations we have are largely a vestige of a different time.

Sounds like you're living the dream! I definitely agree that a few months of safety net doesn't feel "safe" at all and 1-2 years is more reasonable. One question, how did you initially start building that network of clients to reach a point where word of mouth sustains the business?
Facts are the most contentious because the disingenuous will argue that’s not how they interpret term xxx. Even if you call them out for switching meaning during the argument, they will claim they had a mental lapse and say they really mean yyy.

Yeah, we tend to die earlier as well (65 on average, I recall reading). Turns out chronic stress from managing the disability is not great.

I suppose I thought your use case was mainly getting alerts and 2FA stuff and wouldn't require replying back so often.

But in any case I think proxying is absolutely possible and would b easy to setup, especially on a rooted phone.

The first thing that comes to mind is setting up a web frontend, so messages would be forwarded to your s and your wifes phones, and then you would access a web frontend hosted on the phone with the $ simcard with a 'real' number which would send out the reply sent via the web form.

Would something like that not work?
yes once you watch those videos it takes away the problem solving element as well.
All the psychedelic substances which produce their activity through interactions with the serotonin 5-HT2A - mescaline, LSD, psilocybin, and DMT in particular - are largely banned by governments and their production, distribution and use all have varying criminal charges associated in most countries and regions.

These drugs are generally much less addictive than alcohol, nicotine, opiates, and amphentamines, drugs which are considered to have medical uses of some sort and are not criminalized as energetically as the psychedelics, which is a bit odd.

I suppose if you want an orderly obedient population not given to asking difficult questions of the established authoritarians (such as 'why are we paying you taxes that you use to live in a big mansion with lots of servants'), then you might be concerned about psychedelic use for reasons having nothing to do with medicine. You might be afraid of losing control, of random ideas popping up and spreading through the population, a questioning of long-established social norms, etc. I really wonder if that's where the control freak hysteria on this topic comes from.
Maybe seeing attractive people in media makes people feel bad about their own appearance. Or their partner's appearance.

Maybe they don't want to watch something just to be reminded of their mediocre/nonexistent sex life.
I added an “edit” to clarify I don’t believe IQ and ADHD are connected.

“Redefining” could have instead said “Reinterpreting”.

The reality is the diagnosis for these disorders are completely subjective. The same logic could be applied to depression and SSRIs. It’s not like a blood test that tells me I have high cholesterol. It takes dozens of hours with a qualified medical professional to seriously diagnose someone with high confidence.

Also agree there are studies correlating it with physical changes in the brain. But those studies aren’t fully fleshed out and not useful for diagnosis. There isn’t a brain scan that can detect ADHD.
Now that everyone has cameras on them 24/7 we should see an explosion of ghosts reports if ghosts are indeed a thing. Is there any data about such thing?
I wouldn't say you overreacted. It's impossible to both convey and read tone over the internet, so there's no way for you to know that I don't mean to be insulting. I also like to write in a polarizing and cynical manner.

Whatever negative label you've had applied to you as a result of ADHD, I likely have had the same applied to me. My choice to not use any stimulants is both indeed a privilege of my "symptoms" not reaching a point where I can't function in day-to-day life, but also an ideological choice, because I have hurt my own career, screwed up projects, and progressed much more slowly than I would have if I were on Adderall or Ritalin or whatever else they're prescribing now.

The reason that I persist with the claim that "ADHD doesn't exist" is exactly what you said here:

> If it's not impairing your ability to live and participate in society, by definition you don't have ADHD.

The problem is not my brain, the problem is the arbitrary demands of society. This is not an emotional attempt to preserve my self-esteem--I like myself just fine and always have--but a pragmatic observation that diagnosing "disorders" with acronyms and developing "treatments" legitimizes the framing that the society that I'm chafing with as a result of having some cognitive deficits relative to the rest of the population is somehow more "real" or "official" or "objective" than I am.

It's like if every day to get to work, you had to walk up huge stairs, and anyone under 5'6" had a tough time getting up the stairs, and then doctors came up with HDS (Height Deficiency Syndrome) and prescribed growth hormones and stilts. You get a bunch of people walking around on stilts telling each other they have HDS. Over time, you barely even need to be examined to get a stilt prescription, they just give you the HDS diagnosis soon as you look like you're not going to pass 5'6" by 18. Now you've got a society that is comfortable with the knowledge that short people have HDS and tall people don't, without thinking about the fact that whoever built the stairs could simply have made smaller stairs that other people could walk up more easily.

I would really prefer that people start wondering en masse if, in the age of incredible technological abundance we currently enjoy, it's really necessary that every industry, even ones that don't require highly time-sensitive detail-oriented work, function with the rigor and precision of a munitions factory.
The government isn't confiscating anything.. they merely ruled that the independent board of directors who authorized the richest pay deal in the history of pay deals wasn't truly independent as is necessary to properly represent the shareholders they legally must represent.

Factorio is not a puzzle game. You can get puzzle like gameplay if, for example, you are on a map with heavily restricted space, or are trying to micro-optimize something. But that is analogouse to code-golf or microoptimizations in programming, which are fairly puzzle like.

For typical gameplay, the only puzzles you run into are the ones you build yourself into. The name of game is to design your factory in a modular and extensible way so that you do not build yourself into a puzzle.
> Take your pills and put a bit of effort in and you’ll be fine.

Absolutely, categorically wrong. There's plenty of literature on the subject, should you wish to correct your assumptions.

For those with serious symptoms, medication can help make it possible to use coping strategies. It doesn't make it easier, just possible.

To put it another way we'll never be neurotypical (normal), and if that's your expectation for someone with ADHD, that's not our problem.
You misinterpreted the part of the comment you referred to. They aren't referring to redefining the word "disorder", but "the disorder", as in "ADHD". What they were referring to with the definition is how the definition of ADHD is completely arbitrarily defined, as the diagnosis isn't based on any genetic marker.

how does you thinking some people fake disabilities and that you have a substance problem have anything to do with my comment on people framing accommodations as an excuse to slack off?

Are you suggesting that you think your diagnosis is invalid and that should be taken as a data point in our discussion?

I think the answer is for you to stop taking drugs, not that there aren't people woth ADHD who need accommodations to do their job well.

It's also not anyone else's job to diagnose you but your doctor.

Great point on focusing on high-impact tests. I agree that LLMs risk giving a false sense of coverage. Maybe a smart strategy is generating boilerplate tests while we focus on custom edge cases.

Anecdotes will be anecdotes, but I flew in and out of the US for years before becoming a citizen and never had issues. Honestly I found UK immigration to be the rudest and most intrusive but that was just my experience.

Also stats don't mean much since IIRC Australia stopped recording or at least making public the number of devices they search.

You continue to miss the point. But if you're happy handing over your personal data, and your stance is representative of most Australians, that's probably why privacy protections are so weak in Australia - most don't understand why they should care.
Congratulations on having ADHD at a level where your coping mechanisms work (and appear to work pretty well). Not everyone is so lucky.

Or to put it another way, a broken toe and a broken femur are both categorized as broken bones, but one is much more serious and has complications the other does not.
It's obviously premature to dismiss the idea without actually determining ROI or opportunity cost.

Sure it does, when someone says "logically it follows" then there needs to be a logical argument.
Another link shortener? I'm sure everyone will think so

So what's special about it?

Actually, nothing too special atm, it just allows you to customize a share image thumbnail when sharing a shortened link on social media platforms.

For now, I just capture a screenshot of the destination page and add a random gradient background below.

In the future, I will expand it further with advanced features like allowing editing of the share image thumbnails, design, color change, template change, adding images, adding text, etc. (and when that will happen is unknown — it depends on my laziness.)

In addition to creating shortened links via the main page, I have created, no, more accurately, AI has helped me create two other shortlink generators:

- CLI: with command `zii <url-destination>`

- Chrome Extension: zii.one/ziiext

> the problem is the arbitrary demands of society

Well, society isn't going to change to make 5% of the population with an invisible disorder better.

And I think even given that, the "it's society that's the problem" is still wrong. Because (from another thread), ADHD is more than just a concentration problem. It's a disorder that encompasses the symptoms of time blindness, a lack of ability to control focus, emotional disregulation, rejection sensitivity dysphoria, reduced working memory, an inability to form habits, and executive dysfunction. No number of "hunter gatherer" society norms would explain all of these.
Feeling like shit is stretching it; it's just being thirstier than if I'm cooking myself. I'd say if we do feel like a shit, the local culture probably wouldn't have grown so salty.

But health-wise, yeah, it would not be a good idea to eat out often. High blood pressure is a very, very salient health problem, on par with obesity in the public consciousness.
