There’s people that don’t have adhd that can handle notifications. That’s the thing with being impulsive - those disorders are mental illnesses (quite technically) and will limit your net worth. It’s like why do all developers need to be listening to the orchestra or radio while programming?

On one hand: well, when you have to keep big mental models in your head you don't want to be interrupted. The big headphones serve to indicate you are in the middle of work.

On the other hand: have you ever been on a construction site? You'll hear some radio usually.


Yeah, wearing headphones doesn't necessarily mean they're actually listening to anything.


Agreed, these [1] work very well in open plan offices.

Yup, used this exact same model for some time. The problem is it does not block voice sound as well as other. But anything else? Silence. It is crazy how loud an AC can sound after you remove those.


Maybe those people who "can handle notifications" are just less much less productive as a baseline to start with? Hence they don't feel the impact as much.

I often find this with people who think they are good at "multitasking".


I certainly handle distractions better with my ADHD medication, personally.


And do you also feel that your productivity is higher in general (without distractions) when taking medication?


Hard disagree.

It's not at all a mental illness. That's ignorant.

Some of the most technically adept people I know are on the spectrum and they are incredibly valuable. We're talking Chief architects, lead/senior engineers, Network engineers, and the list goes on.

People like that probably have divergent neurochemistry compared to you.

Learn to leverage that asset and stop being a Karen.

Feigned wisdom isn't.


To be excellent, you are by definition "not normal".


I believe handling interruptions is a skill that is learned. Isolating yourself prevents you from learning it.


You can turn notifications off.


He can get another job most scientists need to stock shelves or something puts their phd in perspective


Get an attorney and have a conversation about filing a lawsuit in civil court. There’s objective economic harm for not at least calling everyone that applies, in my opinion (I’m not an attorney) to Unfortunately there’s taxes for people not understanding computer science and wanting to be in “management.” Especially if people stare at the software newspaper all day. Entry level manager positions aren’t supposed to be glamorous….


I know software managers and recruiters that don’t want to do fairly filter through 1000 applicants. When it’s a very large company that has over 100,000 global employees it’s a bit unfortunate.


When it’s a very large company that has over 100,000 global employees you should have HR tools that can do that filtering for you.


Gambling in general is not addictive unless you have adhd and are extremely impulsive. That leads to other problems. There’s people without adhd that think it’s fun and sports betting can be a winner not much different poker. They have computer models that are profitable funds a lot of stuff in a world where people think controlling inflation is a good idea. Most people here sounds like they have Parkinson’s or something. Go play catch or lift some weights


Maybe they can stammer like the swift compiler on type annotations or that Bachman turner overdrive song you ain’t seen nothing yet


You all sound like you have adhd. If you can’t budget you will never get a corporate job and youll be odd about panhandling and asking for money. Gambling is fun when budgeted, sports gambling can have a positive expected value, unlike the games, but they can be fun. There’s people that don’t have money anxiety you live in a money bubble. Go play catch. Most people here need to see a doctor about getting perscribed adderal.


Most people here need to be put on a stimulant because they can't control a gambling addiction?

Why, yes, that's a marvellous idea.


Adhd is executive distinction, that’s where attorneys will tell you gambling addiction isn’t real, but they’re brain is malformed and need a stimulant, yes, because they don’t understand what normal is and will hyper focus on money and won’t be able to budget, and won’t able to raise money due to fear of rejection. Most people that raise money don’t care they ask a million people some say yes some say no. For people like that, the casino isn’t great for them they’ll get there felling hurt…that doesn’t mean it should be banned attorneys think it’s funny I think you guys miss the point on certain things.


There’s a difference between science, computer science, and engineering. A lot of people miss out on that too that’s the point of “non-logic” and the left side of your brain


Stimulants are scientifically shown to cure adhd symptoms, so cigarettes can help too…they just tend to be dirty


This is one of the most Reddit comments I’ve ever read on hacker news.


Why? If someone loses all of their money gambling they’d have to ask everyone for money anxiety free. That’s what a CEO does in general idk what to tell you what do you think y combinator is if guys all want to be a millionaire you can ask 1 million people for a dollar and then gamble and then do it again


Your account is 9 mins old. You started an account to defend sports gambling? Ok. Corporate sports gambling thanks you for your service.


Anyways life more about the time budget


You’re probably naricistic and miss the point of freedom and what the community wants. If everyone wants to gamble all jobs would be at the casino because that’s what people want to do.
