This chapter explores the intersection of programming and ADHD, highlighting the unique challenges and advantages faced by developers. Personal experiences reveal how ADHD affects focus, productivity, and teamwork in tech environments, particularly in the fast-evolving landscape of front-end development. The discussion emphasizes understanding ADHD's complexities, including executive functioning and time perception, and how specific programming frameworks can enhance engagement for individuals with ADHD.
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.
