he/him You probably heard about me because I am the founder of the Twisted python networking engine open source project. But I’m also the author and maintainer of several other smaller projects, a writer and public speaker about software and the things software affects (i.e.: everything), and a productivity nerd due to my ADHD. I also post a lot about politics; I’d personally prefer to be apolitical but unfortunately the global rising tide of revanchist fascism is kind of dangerous to ignore.

Folks with #ADHD, we all love to excitedly post some hyperfocus output. Slightly less, we can be funny, commiserating, or even just relatably vulnerable when posting about struggle and failure.
But perhaps more often we should post about it when we have a day like I did today: I started the day way behind on a ton of tasks, painfully slogged through them one at a time, re-focused through one interruption after another, and I'm ending the day still behind, but *less behind* than in the morning.
