    Myth: You are lazy.

    Truth: It’s highly probable you are neurodivergent.

    While, accurate numbers are not available, I have seen people estimating that 20% of people working in FAANG are neurodivergent. If coding comes naturally to you but the laundry is your mortal enemy, it’s worth learning about ADHD/ASD and other common disorders. Being a coder can be a sign, the immediate feedback helps a bunch of us, or as Russel Barkely says “when you solve a problem on a paper, NOTHING HAPPENS”.

    Edit: Rephrase.
