@Ashedryden even without having a similar diagnosis as Kenneth, this hits way too close to home.

i also agree about the vulnerability, and i think writing this piece shows incredible courage. i applaud Kenneth in the strongest terms and wish him health for the future.

“The things that make you a great open source contributor (hyperfocus, intensity, pattern recognition, the ability to hold entire systems in your head) overlap significantly with the things that make certain psychiatric conditions both more likely and harder to detect. The community will celebrate your output without ever asking what it costs you to produce it. That's not malice. It's just a system that optimizes for code, not for the person writing it.”
