Thank you SO much for sharing this!! I've known I was ADHD for a long time but only formally diagnosed at age 61. I do platform development and love it - work 100% remote. I enjoyed your subtle humor mixed with the great insights and advice!

Very glad you liked it! And what an amazing thing to meet older webdevs.

Also you made me look up psytrance. While I suspect some tongue-in-cheek humor there, it's result sounds a bit like a concept I studied briefly when doing my master's in organizational leadership: Flow (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi). pursuit-of-happiness.org/history-o... Except "flow" is intentional, and productive (in a manner of speaking). ADHD likes / seeks a "flow state".
