I feel like if I lived in a pre-literate society, I’d be far more disabled than today

Living and working in a more close knit social group could offset many ADHD issues. Our strengths and weaknesses could balance each other out.

Information retainment and such can be accomplished with songs and stories.

It’s about fame, power, adoration, and legacy.

Great points. Especially putting in more memory can get you very far.

Database optimization? Nah, just put in 1 TB of RAM to keep the whole DB in memory at all times.

Yes, pretty much like UML diagrams. Who is responsible for allocating memory and freeing it.

Languages like Swift, Objective-C, C++ have features that mean you don’t need to do this by hand. But you have to tell the compiler if you want to keep and object around and who owns it.

See this article on Objective-C to see the different ways to manage memory this language supports.

OOP also has object ownership hierarchy structures. Which object owns which other object, is a question always worth answering.

Books, classes, and documentation can also be lacking for new tech.

Those microservices are a mix of a dozen programming languages across dozens of different versions.

Can you tell people your name?

Nah, it’s new and shiny! I would have taken it in right away and examined it to see how it’s made. Maybe even take it apart a little bit. Or paint it.

JPEG2000 can do exactly what you want for decades.

Lots of programmers are autists and dont like new information.

Most pages don’t need dynamic loading.

Better than continue building something useless.

Agile

Dopamine is dopamine.

Focus on what exactly?

Xcode because I build iOS apps.

YouTube supports multiple audio tracks and multiple language subtitles. Same for Netflix and pretty much all major streaming platforms.
