opendyslexic VS developer-roadmap

I changed the font on my kindle to open dyslexic & it made a huge difference in my ability to focus on what I’m reading. You’ll know pretty quickly if it will work for you.

Too bad the article is not open-access, as I would expect from JetBrains.

Extra cognitive load slows everyone. It's just that the effect is measurably distinct in people with executive function (distractability) issues, with respect to speed. The distinction between debugging and coding is not really active vs monotonous but driven by your own ideas vs chasing (a problem). The study isn't realistic, but it's designed to get a measurable result (and to showcase the "efficiency tracking" plugin).

Anecdotally, everyone adjusts their IDE, or accommodates what can't (easily) be changed. Too bad that wisdom is lost and hard to share.

I think the solution here is more configurable UI's, with the configuration being automated/scriptable so that once you've established your preferences, you can replicate them through upgrades, etc.

The most configurable IDE of course is Eclipse (which is in decline because no one gets paid directly to write for it, and it's cheaper to publish a language server for your new language than build an IDE). You can arrange views as you like, change menu and toolbar visibility, change key bindings, and of course add whatever plugins/features you need. You can save view configurations as a workspace and save various preferences. But because components come from everywhere, support for configuration capture varies.

People share their dotfiles for shell and vi/emacs configuration, but not their IDE configurations. It's too bad, because then there would be a configuration population to analyze when raising UI issues.

ADHD and ASD are a broad spectrum. It may help to join the tribe because it validates our experience, but then we can fail to recognize our brain's specific biases. Worse, anyone over 7 has been getting good at compensating, which hides the issue, and our culture of excellence/competition/success == good (therefore failure bad) further obscures with shame, defeat, and self-sabotage. Legal requirements for accommodation help set a global floor, but may also work as a local ceiling by supplanting ordinary fellow-feeling.

For reading fatigue, consider a dyslexia font, e.g., https://opendyslexic.org.

GitHub link Website link Source license SIL-OFL I've come across this font that aims to make reading easier for people with dyslexia and I've never seen it implemented before. I feel like it would be really cool if it got implemented into more things :)

I would really like to see OpenDyslexic as a font option in boosts

https://opendyslexic.org This is where it was made I think you can download an add on here to change all your fonts, as well as ‘most’ applications use open dyslexia or dyslexia open as the font name

Learning the basics of web development opens doors to many other careers in the tech field.  Roadmap.sh provides guides, learning paths, and roadmaps to point developers in a direction of their choosing.

There's a website I personally follow specific for roadmaps called as “roadmap.sh” where all the roadmaps are available. You can check it out, if you like. Here's the link: ▶️ https://roadmap.sh/

If you're starting your journey in web development, here is a roadmap to follow. Understand that Web development is not merely an extension of programming; it's a distinct field that requires a unique blend of coding and visual design skills. Embrace the importance of visual aesthetics from the get-go, and continuously work on improving your design sense. Trust me it will pay off in the long run, and you'll be able to create truly exceptional web experiences that not only function well but also look and feel amazing.

Github developer roadmaps (backend, frontend, cloud ...)

Web Developer-Roadmap GitHub Link: developer-roadmap Crafted by kamranahmedse, this roadmap acts as a compass for developers navigating the vast landscape of technologies. Covering front-end, back-end, and DevOps, it aids developers in charting a learning path aligned with their goals.

It may also be beneficial to start with a high-level overview of what there is to learn in a given area, to understand the overall lay of the land - and then use ChatGPT to dig deeper into selected topics. There are many good resources that provide such an overview, like roadmap.sh or my "Definitive Guide to Succeeding as a Professional Dev".
