    “Devs are famously bad at estimating how long a software project will take.”

    No, highly complex creative work is inherently extremely difficult to estimate.

    Akshually… I’m on a dev team where about 60% of us are diagnosed with ADHD. So, at least in our case, it’s both.

        We’re the only ones that can get hyper focused and also hyper fixated on why a switch statement is failing when it includes a for loop until finding out there’s actually a compiler bug, and if you leave a space after the bracket it somehow works correctly.

        That was a fun afternoon.
