·1034 words·5 mins
Everyone talks about what AI can do. Nobody talks about what it costs you. A practical look at context switching, the vampiric effect, and how I keep agents on my terms.
ADHD
I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and it shows up constantly in how I build tools, write, and work. This tag collects the posts and talks where ADHD is part of the story – not just a passing mention, but a real ingredient in the problem or the solution.
