They're not mutually exclusive. I was ADHD diagnosed, but I'm also lazy. Even medication didn't make me less lazy. But then I became a Haskell programmer, and now "laziness is a virtue."

edit: Not making light of ADHD or my own struggles. Medication and self-awareness helped me improve from a B/C student into an A student. But I do find that as an adult I'm able to function without medication because instead of constant studying for tests I'm constantly learning and applying my knowledge.



This comment is great. Was the first thing I read today. I believe I am going to go write some haskell to start my day haha


How could the third comment down in a thread be the first thing you read today?


I don't think there's any need to take things so literal.
