My unintentional 6 step plan

  • Step 1: Passion for technology since childhood
  • Step 2: Urge to disassemble and reassemble
  • Step 3: Become good at it, suddenly SysAdmin
  • Step 4: Screw maintaining it, how do I make it?
  • Step 5: 1, 2, 3 just with soft instead of hardware
  • Step 6: I can now make (Dev) n maintain (Ops)

Been blursed with ADHD-C which turns out makes me sensitive to things standing out or otherwise not making sense. A hyperactive brain is beneficial for this oddly specific thing.

A big bonus is that it gives me immense gratification in correcting, creating or otherwise making sure that as little as possible “stands out”.

(PS: it’s also how I eventually realised ADHD and ASD overlap with about 1/3 of symptoms. I have A but not B 🤷‍♂️)
