I have an adhd engineer coleague. We don’t give him large or complex tasks, that doesn’t work, but he gets all the little things and bugs done before anyone else thinks of picking them up 👌
Shit! I love my job as a software developer and my employer is amazing, but I wish they would do this for me. Also ADHD and I have an existential crisis every time I’m on a larger task with little direction.
I love the small things or when things are spec’d out in to small parts. Currently have to extract this sick calendar my boss coded and repurpose it in an application I am creating for them and man it’s not as easy as it sounds when you get overwhelmed.
My ADHD friend is a software engineer but he’s lucky he gets hyperfocus when on new projects that he’s interested in. Works an absolute fuckton on it and then the rest help finish off the job after he tires on it, with him giving them guidance in zoom (while playing steam deck on my couch lol)
It takes good leadership though. It’s unfortunate managers don’t get the same kind of lessons we teach teachers. There are so many ways to accommodate your work method.
Hey, I do this. Sort of. Makes me wonder if I added my deck into the routine if it would be more effective.
Work that no one has done before and is an interesting problem I can dive into and become a wizard on in no time. Only problem is I rarely get the time required to do it, unless I sacrifice personal time or maybe a goat
