World building hard.

To be fair tho, your evidence is anecdotal.

Dread on a haunted? Sounds like a grand ole time.

I am in a similar boat in career. I lead a small team of data engineers and do more code review now than code writing. For me, yes the meds help. They keep the tracks for my train of thought from disappearing. It stops my brain from having the context switching problems. The brain fog clears and I can actually think straight.

I'm on methylphenidate (36mg ER), but different meds work for different brains. Your experience may vary. Caffeine also affects us differently, helping us focus instead of keeping us hyper. I've heard it also helps convey some of the meds for more effective delivery.

I find note taking along the way with AI-assisted code summaries help too, but those don't help my context switching difficulty.

Edit: I'd also add, schedule management REALLY helps. Avoid 30 minute back to back meetings with different themes if possible. Give your brain downtime after a meeting to chill and think. After 3-4 meetings of different concepts, my brain can't handle anything, even with meds. This causes burnout more quickly than anything I experience.

It was always burning?

That's what big package manager wants you to think‽

The answers from the first panel are also valid in the second panel if you are doing it right.

Them abs tho

Reminds me a lot of Jackle on NES.

Imaginative concept, but... No cavities? Immersion broken! 😂
