I prefer brown noise, it feels less harsh to me.

Edit: should have read the article before commenting, the author includes brown noise.

People don't want to watch reruns

I feel this in my bones.

I thought satisfactory at first too, but fluffy tailed hogs and lizard doggos don't seem to give a shit that I just built an oil pipeline and two dozen oil refineries in their home.

Changed from ColdFusion to C#. I was able to stretch minimal C# exposure during a contract into enough experience to convince someone to give me a full time gig where I was able to learn on the fly. I did pick up some bad habits that I had to unlearn as I gained more experience.

Tell me more about these cats. I'd like my V to be a cat lady, please and thank you.

Not so subtle I guess. I've experienced both these to varying degrees so I've just been lumping them into the same thing.

Sounds a lot like hyper-focus to me too, but like most traits shared by ADHD and Autism, there are probably some subtle differences. Personally I find the inertia terminology to be more representative of my experience.

Lots of good technical starting points here. I don't want to prematurely discourage you, but before you get into any code, evaluate your problem solving abilities. If that is an area you struggle in, work on that first, or at least in conjunction with programming basics.

I've worked with engineers who have all the code skills, but when faced with a complex issue, struggled to break it down into it's simplest components and wound up with a messy, over-engineered solution.

My social anxiety would love to give a one word answer and move on, my ADHD/self-doubt/trauma says "are you sure that's enough? they'll think you are an idiot and don't know what you're doing if you don't elaborate"
