> I have vivid memories of that time — my self-image had been wrapped up in being “a good programmer”, and here I was just hideously failing. I lost sleep. I had these little panic attack episodes.

I don't understand these people. If I'm in a situation where I am way above my estimate, I just accept that the estimate was wrong and make sure I make constant progress. It will get done when it will get done.

Maybe you are streaming at twitch too for donations? I bet many would subscribe to a blind gamer. Just be sure not to react to stuff on the screen or you will be banned.

"I have Asperger's: I am just like you"

Um, not to hate or anything, but there is a reason it is called autistic syndrome. Autistic people lack the ability to form a "theory of brain", which means they just do not understand other people's intentions that well. You can't ignore this fact and hope it will go away.

That reminds me once again of Dotcom's proposal to encrypt almost everything to be safe from the government persuasion.

We will soon have these ad networks to enforce us with laws that prohibit adblocks all together by calling the act of blocking ad as "piracy" and "theft" since we are not "paying" for the content provided. We can't let that happen, these networks must be put down as fast as possible till while they can't influence the government. Oh, wait, it's too late...

Isn't boredom just response of a body that what he is doing is not effective? So it encourages going doing something that's more effective, efficient and productive.
