Is this a joke? This is a discussion platform for speculating. Plus half the people on HN probably have ADD or ADHD

Love this comment. As someone with ADHD, I am drawn to technology and made a career out of it. I suspect many people here are the same, diagnosed or not.

By the way, the "ADD" diagnosis has been removed from the DSM, there's no longer a medical distinction between the two.

They've convinced themselves they have it. Please ignore the prevalence of obesity, lack of exercise, poor diet, and anti-social nature of tech workers plz. They are suffering from a natural affliction.
