    Exactly this, for me at least.

    I was a failure relative to my peers in my late thirties, got diagnosed with ADHD and it’s insane.

    So before I always wanted to be a software developer but I couldn’t finish shit, and just procrastinated and kept learning but never progressing.

    Afterwards, I am now a software developer and working from a massive spec sheet has kept me engaged the whole time. I still suck at planning but give me a plan and I’ll knock it put the park.

    What remains to be seen is if I still have the same vigour, 1 year, 2 years in etc.
