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

I’ve felt it at conferences and in my conversations with many of you.

Episode 524: Writing Code Using AI with Landon Gray

Large language models are everywhere now. They’re changing the way we work, from tools code completion tools like Copilot, to audio generation apps like Suno.ai. Apple recently announced huge updates with generative AI for all of their platforms. Adobe, Canva, and Google have all added AI to their products. It seems like every vendor is building these features. So how will this change the way we write and think about code. Landon Gray joins the show to tell us how AI will change software development.

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!
