Episode notes

This chapter explores the struggles of maintaining productivity within agile methodologies, particularly addressing the impacts of daily standups and sprint planning. It highlights personal experiences related to ADHD, the challenges of pair programming, and offers a humorous perspective on work estimation through unconventional metrics.

Do you feel like ADHD is holding you back? Maybe you don't personally have ADHD but you work with folks who do and you'd like to support them better. Either way, how ADHD interplays with programming and programmers is pretty fascinating. On this episode we have Chris Ferdinandi who himself has ADHD and has written a lot about it to share his journey and his advice for thriving with ADHD as a programmer or data scientist.
