20-year dev with ADD says vibe coding lets him run 6-12 parallel AI conversations at once

A developer with 20 years of experience describes how ADD, long a liability, has become an asset in the AI era: he now vibe codes all day, juggling 6-12 parallel Claude conversations on side projects between prompts for his actual job, switching context at what he calls an insane rate. Recalling his father's words at his age-7 diagnosis that the condition would one day let him move faster than peers, he feels the models have finally caught up with how his brain works—though he suspects the window is brief, as "the machines will soon run everything." He also mentions being on dexedrine since first grade and asks who else takes it.
