 mean, assuming I find a place where I'm a good fit (meaning, my technical
abilities make it worth the time of the middle manager to manage me) it works
really well, because the job of the middle manager is, essentially, to make
people like me work; Because I honestly want to be useful, I think that often
said middle managers feel good about the whole thing, too, because I really do

The other thing is that I go through periods of strong productivity and of
very weak productivity. This is... acceptable in industry. Ok, so you have
some unemployed time, but that's okay because when you are really productive,
the remuneration is pretty great.

Also, on the ADHD side? for me? this is _after_ getting the medication. It

most people do, I think.

Append: more on medicalizing your shit:

We live in an age where we spend a huge amount of our GDP on medical care. We
have amazing solutions for a lot of problems. Take advantage of this, because
when medical science has a good solution, it's often super easy and effective.

Sleep apnea, for instance, is easy to test for and easy to treat, and if it
goes untreated? Really fucks up your attention span (and your cardiovascular
system) It's one of those things where modern medical science has a quick,
cheap and easy mechanical fix.

There's a bunch of other crap like that, too. I personally would go for the
sleep apnea test before I messed around too much with medications; not that
medications are bad, but if you have it, treating sleep apnea is an unalloyed
good, (well, getting mask fit setup is... difficult, but that's mostly a
matter of buying the masks and trying them; a small matter of money on a
software dev salary) while most medications have pluses and minuses that need
to be carefully weighed, even once you've found the one that is best for you.
