Conversely:

- if your company has an internal compiler team then it's likely the compiler because they broke it.

- if it's not the compiler, you're not pushing it hard enough.

(Except that they don't claim them to be "their own beliefs" but instead call them "priors".)

I think there's a lot of opportunity for computer vision in exercise coaching.

(Also, the US budget deficit is way too high to afford a UBI.)

And then sometimes you report a memory leak and it gets fixed by a VP and you wonder if he doesn't have something better to do.

It's like saying you only work with a personal trainer at the gym because you don't have a friend to go with. Sort of true sort of not.

So the therapy is partly focused on emotional management, and partly about skills to do seemingly simple things like cook and put away laundry.

I haven't seen coaching for ADHD software engineers, but I'd be interested in it. (I'd rather take more cooking classes though.)

(Some people presenting with depression should not be on antidepressants because they actually have bipolar disorder.)

I tried this for several years and only afterwards realized it was bad for me - one because of personality changes, two because of high blood pressure.

It will give you a lot of stamina and ability to continue on the life path you're on, but I got metaphorical tunnel vision and basically wasn't able to do anything after the stimulant crash around dinnertime.

I went up, but then backed down because even 2mg was seriously affecting my sleep quality. I'm feeling much better at 1mg.

nb I think if I wasn't employed than I'd be best off with just this, but employment is best with stimulants. Unfortunately stimulants have side effects.

(You "have ADHD" if a psychiatrist was willing to say you have it, gave you medication, and it improved your life quality both at work and at home.)

I was never very bad at that, but it can happen in ADHD because you lose interest in everything you're "supposed" to do and get stuck on random other things like commenting here. Especially if the "supposed" tasks are hard or give you anxiety.

So I was quite surprised when going on Intuniv made that basically disappear.

My advice is that there are interventions for things like this, but they're never the obvious ones and you'll be surprised what might work. And it's worth trying meds.

I'm having a similar issue with ADHD meds, which is that we randomly settled on one that made me feel incredibly "normal" (ie not nerdy) but now my lifestyle totally doesn't match that so I need to redo everything.

Still in progress, I've always had winter depression and likely need to be on something for that as well.

Exercise is very true. I used to take walks but it didn't help; pushing myself at the gym (inc using a trainer) is a lot more effective.

Also, ADHD meds interact with sleep, both making it better and worse. I was on Intuniv 2mg and it absolutely ruined my sleep, but 1mg plus a sleep medication (25mg trazodone) are working very well.
