Have ADHD and this matches up perfectly with my experience. Finishing feature work off (especially things with a long timeline) is difficult and I tend to also cope that way, working on multiple things at once because it’s difficult to tunnel on any one thing.

There’s two entire halves to ADHD. The hyperactive part is the one people usually know, but the attentive half is the part people aren’t aware of.

Diagnosed myself, predominantly inattentive with bits of hyperactive, mostly fidgeting. Executive dysfunction, issues keeping my train of thought, poor short term memory, motivation issues, and more are the other half.

This is the one. We use this at Akkio so that Engineering doesn’t need to be involved in website changes that are more just marketing and branding. Lets us maximize engineering time on the actual product.

Most languages have some code generation tool requiring a compile step, but most of the specs in here change infrequently enough you can just do it once and commit to VC. I personally have a use case where I modify the Meltano (ETL tool) spec at runtime and use a generated scheme to validate reads and writes to the file, helping catch bugs early.

JSON Schemas are great.

These are actually what IntelliJ uses to validate all sorts of config files behind the scenes.

For work, we even do code generation off of the Meltano (ETL tool) spec and use it to validate reads and writes to the file (which we edit at application runtime) to catch errors as close to when they actually occur.
