Episode 528: Working In Tech With ADHD with Chris Ferdinandi

In the last few years, there’s been more awareness about ADHD in adults. We’ve learned that it’s more than hyperactivity and it’s not a deficit of attention. Many working in tech have ADHD and because we have a world built for neurotypicals, there can be unique challenges for those working in tech with ADHD. Today, Chris Ferdinandi joins the show to talk to us about how to thrive in tech with ADHD. Show Notes https://ADHDftw.com/rubyonrails

We all love Ruby on Rails. You may remember that my first episode on this show was about whether Rails was still relevant. In the last few years, there’s been so many exciting things coming to Ruby and Rails. I have felt that excitement in the community. I’ve felt it at conferences and in my conversations with many of you. Today, Irina Nazarova joins us to talk about how we can better evangelize Rails Show Notes Neighbor gem https://github.com/ankane/neighbor Irina’s Keynote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sFYiyFQMU8 Rails stack from Evil Martians: https://evilmartians.com/rails-startup-stack (this includes Turbo Mount and other things Irina mentioned) Irina’s Meetups Blog Post https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/lets-have-more-tech-meetups-a-quick-start-guide-to-holding-your-own

But I didn’t get very far in. When I heard her say that she used she her pronouns I knew she was a sheep and promptly unsubscribed. Bye bye. You might be smart but you can’t keep your politics out of software development.
Fantastic Show

Brittany is one of the best podcast hosts. She asks wonderful questions and brings out the best in her guests. Funny, insightful, and enlightening.
Love the in-depth technical convos

I just finished listening to a couple of episodes. I decided to subscribe after consistently listening to the guests who seemed more like “day-to-day” and less celebrity-like rockstar programmers who actually implemented the smaller but still significant solutions they talk about. I like the technical depth the host asks the questions and give the guests enough time to expand on the details as much as they need without pressuring then to wrap up or give a bite sized response. I can relate to the guests and been enjoying learning about their different backgrounds and experiences working through certain specific technical challenges. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Host is amazing

I listen to a lot of podcasts and Brittany is hands down my favorite host. Completely different vibe since she took over and I’m here for it.

So glad that Kyle is taking the time to make this happen. The format is just right mix of interview, tips, and humor. I always come away with new insights.
Sound Quality

The content of the podcast is very good but the sound quality is poor. Please have Brittany purchase a better microphone for her setup.
Mistitled, at best.

Hardly any Ruby on Rails talk here. I've listed to at least a dozen episodes. So I gave it a chance. My advice? Talk about Ruby on Rails. Or change the name.
Awesome show
