ADHD is running a 5 minute long command, stepping away to do something else, and returning to it to see “Do you want to perform these actions? Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.” 🤦‍♂️

@anothercohen @timonus I find it’s helpful to work with people who accept the mess, will take responsibility for (at least part of) the mess, will help clean the mess, and most importantly, will allow you to express your own, different, kind of mess.

@hailpixel Cars, electric and gas alike, were invented in the 19th century. So this is just factually inaccurate on top of other things…

@arvidkahl I hope people with Imposter syndrome read this as “you should build in public” and not read it as “you’re shady.”

@KateBour It’s very much greener on my neighbours lawn. My grass is dead. I have a yard, garden hose, grass seed, seed spreader, and all the things I need. It’s just not a priority. I say let it be brown. That’s also a metaphor… somehow.

@redteamwrangler @IanColdwater Because they’re forcing him to wear a hood in his own workspace to perpetuate hacker stereotypes?

@asmartbear Should I trust my own code? I don’t. I trust the code works. Because I wrote the tests. I don’t trust that it conveys the understanding I need the other developers to read from it. I can assume their perspective but I still suffer from the curse of knowledge.

@asmartbear “How to Read a Book” by Mortimer J. Adler had a fascinating chapter: “Coming to Terms”. To him, a term is an unambiguous word/phrase. Most analytical reading is finding the terms and meanings. That’s when I realized “coming to terms” is a big part of “coming to terms”. 🙃

@KateBour That’s the part I’m stuck on. The concept of talking to people in such an unfamiliar way is causing crushing anxiety. But then that’s nothing new in my life.

@pragprog @PragmaticAndy When is the second edition coming, though? I’d like to upgrade my Exocortex wiki to @craftdocsapp, or at least @NotionHQ, soon.
