Newsletter

The ADHD Engineer newsletter.

One real work moment from the inside, each week. No generic tips, no hacks, no productivity advice — just the kind of writing you can sit with on a Sunday morning, not one more thing to skim before standup.

What you’ll read about

Real work moments, not generic advice.

Each issue is a single observation — a pattern, a quiet trap, a piece of self-talk that’s doing more work than you realize. The writing is for engineers and tech leaders with ADHD who’d rather understand the inside view than learn another framework.

  • The pressure underneath procrastination
  • Why the easy part keeps feeling hard
  • The moralizing trap — when the goal becomes “I need to fix myself”
  • Discipline systems that worked for two weeks
  • The inside-view spiral — “is it me?” to “I suck”
  • The hidden work of being senior with ADHD
Cadence

One essay a week. No content calendar.

Essays arrive when they’re ready, which usually means there’s something worth saying. No streaks to maintain, no scheduled filler, no “here are 7 tips” posts.

Also writing: The Complete Engineer

A separate newsletter for senior software engineers and engineering leaders sitting with the questions the next promotion won’t answer. Less ADHD-specific. Same observational voice.
