I'd also add Shotter as a great tool to have, it's a far more superior screenshot tool and has some great QoL additions over the native screeblnshot tool.

Comment on I no longer trust the stats that companies publish on the gender equality in their tech roles in ~tech

There's only one company in my field that boasts about their gender numbers that I do actually trust, because 1) I used to work for them so I knew the real numbers lol, and 2) they have entire internal groups dedicated to making sure enough women are in leadership roles etc.
They also always include non-cis numbers now btw, which is almost never done, they're proud to mention the exact % of 'other', which isn't a perfect way to go about it but for a company of 8000 people it's something.
But that company literally has equality as one of their pillars so... Yeah.
I have your same experience in that if they give a number, it's a number that does NOT match reality at all.
I always ask for a number when interviewing, because I work in a male dominated field (data management/governance, so lots of devs and engineers) and my interviewers are always (100% of the time) male so I like throwing that question at them to check if they at least think about their gender ratios.

Doesn't have to be a pile, could be a drawer or a stack of papers.
It's a drawer for me... But we cope with it by me having my drawer and as long as I can find anything I need in it under a minute, I have the deal with my partner that he won't interfere with the Noox-drawer, so we make it work Β―\_(γ)_/Β―

Comment on Wikipedia:Signs of AI writing in ~tech

I work in marketing (not as a marketeer, but a supporting role in data governance / visualisation) and I can't tell you how often I see these signs when one of our clients or their competitors output a blog post or an email newsletter or anything brand related, really.
Here's a hint: It's ALL of them. ALL the time.
There are entire ridiculously expensive 'AI solutions' based purely on inputting as much information about your brand as possible, so that you can create AI writers that set certain tones when writing social media posts etc.
I know this because, unfortunately, I am the person whose job it is, amongst other things, to curate the client's data that's then input into these kinds of solutions. π₯²
Note: ... I insist on being part of projects where our clients are charities or otherwise businesses that, overall, are net positives to society... Lets me sleep a little better at night.

Hyperfocus is a known trait of both ADHD and ADD... I'd know. So would my husband.
Trust me, I can literally spend 8 hours straight playing the sims, foregoing food, water, sleep, anything. But ask me to plan out my grocery shopping and I'll avoid that task like the plague until it's almost too late and I now have to hurry to run to the shops or order food or literally go without dinner. It's happened.
If you hadn't told me you'd had an ADHD assessment already I'd advise an ADHD assessment. But since the one you had didn't say that, my advise would be: Get a second opinion.
Best of luck!

Having said that, we bought our first house last November and have been non-stop getting it ready for the past year, and we're FINALLY set to move in at the end of December, so I expect my free time to be pretty low in the rest of 2025 now that I think about it π₯² so I'll add my vote for maybe waiting until Jan 2026, but if not then I'll still do my best to join as much as I can, deff in the first few days - need to find the best villager couch to surf on in the middle of town square again π

I have :) and it's close but no cigar! There's just no snappy equivalent where I can hold my cntrl key, and then using 8 keys on the right side of my keyboard in different combinations snap my windows over my two monitors within a fraction of a second.
