The Ruby on Rails Podcast

In the last few years, there’s been more awareness about ADHD in adults. We’ve learned that it’s more than hyperactivity and it’s not a deficit of attention.

Today, Chris Ferdinandi joins the show to talk to us about how to thrive in tech with ADHD. Show Notes * https://ADHDftw.com/rubyonrails
