Lane chats with Chris Ferdinandi—creator of Go Make Things and ADHD for the Win—a frontend dev, educator, and all-around expert in making JavaScript (and learning) simpler. Chris has built a career helping devs cut through the noise, level up their skills, and embrace ADHD-friendly ways to stay focused and productive.We dive into his journey from discovering his own ADHD to reshaping how people learn to code. We talk about why so many devs have ADHD, how gamification can actually help (when done right), and how today’s tech is messing with our attention spans. Plus, we get into the psychology of learning and what actually works when it comes to staying engaged and motivated.Learn back-end development - https://www.boot.devListen on your favorite podcast player: https://www.backendbanter.fmADHD ftw! : https://adhdftw.com/backend-banter/Go Make Things: https://gomakethings.com/https://bsky.app/profile/cferdinandi.bsky.socialhttps://mastodon.social/@cferdinandiLike & subscribe for the algo if you enjoyed the video!
