> OP expected a symmetric outlay of effort & focus from the company's side

And you don't? Do you enjoy being walked all over?

“If you're not the hero of your own novel, then what kind of novel is it?”

This is true for any self-host OSS project. You are pointing at the grass and warning people that it is green.

Accusing "what-about-ism" is itself a "what-about-ism".... You are using it to short-circuit valid thought-provoking criticism.

Hello! It would be helpful to applicants if you include the name of your company. Cheers.

Headsup: Seems like this one has a "take home assignment that shouldn't take more than a day" as part of its interview process.

You can be diagnose with ADHD for any number of circumstances, the ADHD diagnosis is not based on a specific cause, only on specific symptoms, it doesn't matter where the symptoms come from exactly (circumstance? nutrition? neurodivergent in the wrong environment? etc).

I feel the same way you do. Something else to take into account:

A lot of people are just mediocre at explaining themselves. This is fine because sometimes the information they have is good, the medium of communication is shabby, but we can still do an extended effort and look past the medium in order to get to the information. The point being, if someone is really adept at communication then you might find yourself focusing on really complex topics with ease, because it is engaging and nicely laid out. OTOH if I hand you an IKEA manual to build a simple vase but the scribbles are tiny and confusing, you will be like "Woah this is so difficult to pay attention to!".

Some people like to project their problems into the rest of the population. Someone that has never achieved a major capacity to direct their attention will believe that it is not a skill they can attain. If they find someone with such a skill then they are “oh so gifted”, completely dismissing all the training and effort that said person has put into themselves. Timeless dialectic.

Your lack of discipline does not reflect a major truth about the human condition. Sorry you feel that way.

yep, dude literally says "create nudging to increase focus" like he didn't just copy paste some nonsense text from chatGPT. Create.... nudging? Sorry what?

That's the opposite of focus, literally, lol.
