Ask HN: Senior Engineers with ADHD, any mental/physical structures for work?
I don&#x27;t mean to dismiss your ADHD (and I&#x27;m not), but all of the items you listed impact just about everyone and pretty much in the same way. It&#x27;s the difference between greenfield and something someone else wrote. Keeping track of all of the details in a large system is hard, and most of it is boring. And just about anyone who has a real interest in the field would like to work on something interesting; when the interest isn&#x27;t there, or the role doesn&#x27;t align, it&#x27;s easy to get distracted. And then one has to work twice as hard to keep up. Its basic human nature.
