There are other forms of MGM too. Fortunately most of them are rare these days. Castration, subincision, penectomy.

And then there’s intersex people. That are routinely subject to “corrective surgery” in infancy. As adults they tend to be firmly of the opinion they should have been left alone and that the surgeries were harmful.

IMO bodily integrity and autonomy is a fundamental human right that should be absolutely respected for every human being.

Two? Colleague from our IT team reckons it’s more like six.

New Teams has more options for opening new windows, but it’s also more stubbornly determined to open docs in the web app (embedded within Teams of course).

Shifts is a straight no for my team. And don’t get me started on Planner…

Most modern UIs are shit, and not just for people with ADHD.

The biggest sins IMO:

  • Everyone has to be unique, instead of sticking to established and successful design patterns. *Breaking existing UI elements (looking at you, infinite scroll).
  • Trying to do everything, all at once.
  • Not getting rid of old shit (hello Microsoft).

Yeah, it has the same initials as “Atlassian Intelligence”. It could really confuse people.

Career-wise, yes, in my experience.

When you start out in junior positions, you don’t tend to have a lot of autonomy in your work life. Other people are setting priorities, deadlines etc, and you’re just along for the ride.

As your career advances, you tend to take on more leadership duties. You’re more responsible for managing your own work, and then eventually other peoples’ as well. This is where executive functioning deficits tend to start to really hit home.

It’s not for nothing that a lot of people get diagnosed in middle age.
