In broad terms, I see basically four options:

1. Try to fix yourself, with medication or otherwise.

2. Find a coding job at a badly managed company (something like a large bank etc.) where they won't notice your performance is minimal. This is suboptimal, because it will be stressful for you and you'll probably end up being fired in 5-10 years anyway.

3. Find a different line of work - one without monotony and which doesn't require constant focus. Perhaps some varied, strongly stimulating physical work, like firefighting or police? I imagine people with ADHD might do well there.

4. Apply for disability, if it's an option where you live.
