And completely abandoning it the next day
Either that or it becomes my new personality for weeks because I managed to figure it out along the way. Then, after spending too much time and money on it, it’s completely abandoned.
only to be rediscovered months or years later, hypefixated on some more, and then abandoned again
I see you’re familiar with my work.
Yea but after doing this 5 times you start to get a good grasp on the subject! XD
That’s not ADHD. That’s just regular person boredom and spark of interest.
And then the ADHD superpower of being able to get pretty good at it and do all the hard work necessary to complete the project, leaving only the easy yet boring work. One day you’ll get to that and finish the project. One day.
That’s how I ended up making 6 figures as IT sysadmin, with a BSc in Ecology.

Hey, do I come into your house to insult you?
You can if you want, Daddy
That’s not ADHD man, that’s “fake it 'til you make it”.
That’s how I’m still in this job.
I ain’t trying to make it. I don’t want to do programming. This is more of a nightmare than I expected. I hate every second of it. I’m doing it to try and pay my electricity bill.
Ah. So you’ve officially become…
An Adult™
Well I haven’t actually failed yet
Me putting new flooring in my whole house right now despite no experience “pfft, I got this” 3 months later and a million youtube videos later “maybe I don’t in fact got this” “nah I don’t need help”
If you have to catch up with learning or get in trouble, then that’s the best way to learn.
Just remember to jump to the next stage before you are ready also.
My experience with ADHD is that I either do pick it up extremely easily, or I get frustrated and quit within an hour.
That’s the only way to learn, right?
That’s how I learned PHP in a week with no Internet or reference books. Had a couple open source projects on a thumb drive, an a strong urge to eat sometime that month. Reverse engineered one project into a movie rental system, and sold it to a gas station for $500.
God, that code was awful
It’s PHP - no matter how you’d learn it, the code would still be awful.
I always say: at least it’s not JavaScript
(don’t look at my name)
