As a native, today was still bad.

You can't have a solution if you ignore half of the problem statement. It's completely unhelpful.

Problem: I want to be able to type better while having long nails.

Your solution: Don't have long nails.

Someone didn't read the article. She addresses exactly this.

I can already hear the trolls making jokes about women being concerned about breaking a nail. If it’s so inconvenient, why not just have short nails? Well, I’m not out here wearing long nails for fun. Being a reviewer often means acting as a part-time hand model for whatever gadget I’m testing. The Internet Nail Police has repeatedly shown up in my comments over the years if my polish is chipped or, god forbid, there’s a smudge of dirt under my natural nail.

Now I finally understand the "both sides are the same" folks

Oh cool, I'll have to switch. I've been using Arc for a few months now and really like it, but would rather move away from chromium. I'd been using Firefox for years before that

Damn. Good point.

My favorite project was C++; it was big, it was complicated, there was a massive team working on it, I got to work with high level abstractions while occasionally dealing with really low level concerns.

It was really hard, but now writing code in every other language I've worked in has been really easy.

Missionary for Mormon church enters the chat

The Word of Wisdom, which outlines the health guidelines of not drinking alcohol and using tobacco, as well as eating less meat, eating more grains; was originally just as the name suggests, words of wisdom.

Joseph Smith drank wine, used tobacco, and drank coffee up to his death.

It wasn't until the early 20th century when it started to be treated as a commandment. This is around the time when they started codifying a lot of doctrine, stopped practicing polygamy, and started to function more like a mainstream religion and less like a cult.

Source: raised Mormon, went on mission, took religion classes at BYU-Provo on church history.

When does something become mainstream? The Steam Deck has sold millions of units.

But guys, if we use agile then we don't need requirements! We just make something and then the customers tell us if we are on the right track, we just get to iTeRaTe

Now we are getting into the quantum physics question of if the universe is discrete or continuous. Which seems to be unsolved.

So I guess that's my answer. If the universe is discrete then there are finite genders, and if it's continuous then there could be infinite genders.

I'm no mathematician, but I don't think that's how it works. A quick Google says there are 100 billion neurons. So you would have 100000000000! possible combinations, unfathomably large, but finite. Granted, a human brain is more complex than the configuration of neurons, but I don't know how it becomes infinite.

I'm also way past the point of overthinking this.

I thought something similar, but the human brain is finite, so I don't think a single person could have an uncountably infinite gender; unfathomably large, maybe, but it would still be finite.

Edit: I'm not trying to be bigoted here. If someone does identify that way I don't want to discredit your identity.

Yeah, I got to that point in my thinking and then just gave up and posted my first thought.

I'm way overthinking this, but I'm going with finite. It could be an unfathomably large number, but gender is a human construct and there are a finite number of humans. Let's say each human that ever lives has a unique gender identity - there could be billions or trillions, but it would still be finite.

Wow, I didn't expect an expert to chime in.

The plural of moose is meese.

I'm a software consultant and juggle multiple accounts without issue in Outlook. Whenever the authentication expires I have to sign in again in a bunch of places, but that only happens once a month.

With the power of AI

Here's a TLDR of your text:

• ADHD brains are well-suited to tech jobs. They thrive on the variety and urgency of IT work.
• Success requires balance. You can't rely on high-stress situations to focus long-term.
• Your experience is your asset. Learn to translate your instincts into process improvements others can understand.
• You'll need new skills. Develop time management and task completion skills to progress.
• Other ADHD-friendly careers exist. Consider EMTs, kitchen staff, or machine operators where focus and pattern recognition are key.
