I've always hated IDEs. And I hate most UIs - they are a nightmare for me.

I never connected it to ADHD. But I have to say that vim is a godsend to me when I try to do anything serious. And if you are able to reach me whenever you want by Slack, I'm not being productive.




I'm a designer & product manager whose taste runs extremely strongly to minimalism, simplicity, and clarity in user interfaces. A late-in-life diagnosis of ADHD revealed why and linked it strongly (in my mind) to my ability to enter a hyper-focus mode when visual distractions are reduced.
