@sysadmin1138@ngmx.com Not to be grim, but this "neurodivergent people have super powers" narrative is also misleading. For every single one of those exceeding neurodivs there are also a bunch of those that got lured into the branch (because allegedly it would be just perfect for certain kinds of neurodivergency) that got driven away by ableism and/or sexism, or that got chronically ill by burnout, chronic trauma, or conditions like long covid :neobot_flag_disabled:

@gem@made.asterism.gay I didn't have the characters left to counterbalance this with the negatives, like employers want a very specific shape of engineer that only sort of exists. A better environment would be if performance engineering the workforce focused on the *team* not the *individual* there would be way more tolerance for neurodiv folk. But no, it's all focused on consistent performance by individuals.
