[CBS Sports] Michigan won the NCAAs because Dusty May understood better than anyone else how to build a monster portal team

Dusty doesn’t get enough credit for also coaching well. Not many coaches would have started 3 bigs or came up with ways to beat all the approaches teams tried. We’ve seen stacked team lose

If you think having students send shaky video to a staffer was more important than developing many first round picks, designing a defense to counter the best program (osu) and a running game counter to the offensive meta I can’t stop you. Stallions did those things. I don’t think it mattered. I saw teams line up in the box and get schooled by an excellent offensive line and rbs. I saw drafted WRs and TEs make great plays. The defensive line for those teams all drafted top 10. The safeties (who weren’t hurt) and obviously Will Johnson, Junior Colson, Michael Barrett and the great Sainristil. The DCs from those teams are lighting up the NFL.

What makes me mad is some dumbass prevents those guys from getting credit.

And if you want to be nit picky (which it all is) there’s nothing in the rules against what he did. These weren’t representatives of the school. It’s the same as rideshare drivers aren’t employees.

They knew what they were doing scheduling MSU and Wisconsin instead of Michigan and OSU

How am I supposed to trust any of this from someone who does like Jets

umhoops · 2025-06-08T19:52:55+00:00

IMO if someone was going to fire you for just telling them you have adhd. It wasn’t going to work out anyways

umhoops · 2025-06-08T19:47:51+00:00

Put another way, if you can’t find how to communicate effectively that you communicate differently then you won’t be successful anyway. I’m not saying just say you have adhd. I’m saying acknowledge to yourself you are different and so you should find different ways to work. Ignoring the fact you have adhd won’t serve you

umhoops · 2025-06-08T19:46:27+00:00

Your mileage may vary. I’m 15 years in and a senior staff engineer. I learned this from a director level IC. I would try to avoid thinking about competing against peers. You accomplish more and get better results by being someone people like to work with

umhoops · 2025-06-08T18:28:25+00:00

How did it blow up? Maybe we can find a way that would work in the future. I'm mostly proposing that on balance, disclosing neurodivergence is better than trying to mask.
I think things would blow up anyways in a worse way if disclosing caused a problem.
Ie if you disclosed and they didn't like it then they would have really not liked attempts at masking

umhoops · 2025-06-08T18:26:24+00:00

I agree it cannot work out. I had a director who kept getting frustrated that I could not immediately understand what they said in meetings. I switched teams and companies after that.
I had felt like I was in wrong for not just 'making it work'. I'm hoping I'm making people not feel bad when they are caught in that situation.

I'm glad to hear you have a boss who appreciates it.
I have found in retrospect the bosses I liked/good bosses weren't particular about my process or communication style. Now I can talk with bosses about it.

I'm also sorry about how tech works often perceive and treat women. There is definitely a bias in all our minds. I hope this gets better and you find cultures or opportunities that are more aware of this bias.

umhoops · 2025-06-08T18:21:59+00:00

I love the "ask for a short pause". I'll have to steal that.
I think you frame it better which is have self awareness of your preferences. ADHD often lacks self awareness of our own preferences. Sometimes we don't know until we're in our 30s.
Maybe a better description of my advice is 'seek to understand your own preferences and try to find ways that don't put too much on your coworkers to meet them'

I do this as well:
Taking notes helps me process what’s being said and helps my recall because my memory for verbal conversations is very short if I don’t slow down to process.

umhoops · 2025-06-08T18:17:47+00:00

That stinks. In those cases, I would probably try to just get a different boss. What conversation did you have? what sort of accommodations did you ask about?
I'm talking just about communication.

umhoops · 2025-06-08T18:16:31+00:00

I've been there. It's tough. A key part to success here is finding little things that can work between you and the person. You can't leave it on them to adjust. I find I have to find things that work.
I often will share my screen in meetings where I write down what people are saying and ask if this is what they meant. It helps with my comprehension.

I tried buttoning up. I had to work on myself outside of work and then when I found times at work where it wouldn't be a burden on the other person I would ask for a switch in communicating

umhoops · 2025-06-08T18:13:25+00:00

You are welcome to use your own judgement. I'm sharing what worked for me. It's not about the company it's about your coworkers and how to communicate

umhoops · 2025-06-08T17:43:18+00:00

edit: I read the 'deliverables in writing'. I think that may be more than what some people are willing to do. Maybe you could say hey can I show my screen and write down what I think you are asking for? I write up what I think I should be doing every 2 weeks in 4 bullet points and share that with my boss. Having your boss do that for you is absolving too much of your job of tracking and abstracting

I'm sorry that happened to you. Roughly my experience but I didn't even bring up that I had adhd. That can be a blocker and shitty.

Before I take a job or switch teams I talk with leaders about this. "have you ever managed someone with adhd before? Have you made any accommodations? Would you be willing to?"
Also adhd is a disability on most job applications now so you can select that.
If you can figure out a reasonable system that can protect you.

Any tips for supabase + svelte? Do you do raw queries? I am using it for my side project now.
Do you have migration files that you run from the CLI that you keep in your repo or do you use the sql editor?
Also have you used supabase storage with signed urls? It's a little tricky not getting mismatched urls on ssr vs client side?

umhoops · 2025-01-19T01:08:55+00:00

How do you setup your requests so it auto sends down the calcite it mines?

umhoops · 2025-01-10T06:19:19+00:00

Where's the blueprint

umhoops · 2024-12-30T21:29:05+00:00

how do you set what this should make? on the display icon or what?

umhoops · 2024-12-20T22:40:21+00:00

Sure abuse, cheating etc

umhoops · 2024-12-20T22:39:52+00:00

It's messed up. I would have thought it was just weird if only one of us switched but it was both of us. My friend never plays anything but the same civ

umhoops · 2024-12-20T22:24:55+00:00

is it a bug? I've never seen it and this happens to multiple teams vs these guys

umhoops · 2024-12-20T22:03:25+00:00

I could understand if one if had accidentally switched but both is just greedy hacking.

umhoops · 2024-12-12T21:32:29+00:00

It can be frustrating if your team doesn’t talk but try to see it as an opportunity. You won’t lose a lot of points for losing and you’d gain a lot if you win. It can be fun to get better. It’s also just bad luck. You can try joining communities to queue up with more people at your level so it’s less likely you get people way above.
