How I Code as a Blind and Neurodivergent Developer: Overcoming
Challenges with AI - Medium

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=229586&nl=daily
used to feel like climbing a mountain without any gear. I understood
the foundations, had a grasp of logic and data structures, knew
something about web development, but it often felt from an idea
through to working code that the uphill battle was just endless. For
someone who is blind and neurodivergent, even small obstacles felt
overwhelming. Syntax errors, repetitive tasks, and debugging issues
derailed my progress frequently, left projects unfinished, and me
frustrated.

Then came AI. It didn’t replace my skills; instead, it complemented
them, acting almost like a bridge between my knowledge and execution.
With AI, I have turned struggles into successes, breaking through
challenges that once seemed insurmountable.

This counterintuitive finding comes from new research, which suggests
that the people most drawn to AI tend to be those who understand the
technology the least. AI seems mysterious and even magical to these
people, the researchers found, leading to a sense of awe regarding AIs
ability to complete tasks. This is particularly true when the task is
traditionally associated with human attributes, such as writing a poem
or creating a new fusion recipe.

Are Critics Too Nice? - The New Yorker [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=229586&nl=daily]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=229586&nl=daily]
Critics at the magazine have a history of not pulling punches. In
1939, Russell Maloney called The Wizard of Oz a stinkeroo. I did not
care for Agatha Christie, Edmund Wilson wrote in 1944, after sampling
the authors vast uvre with Death Comes as the End, and I never expect
to read another of her books. Pauline Kael was notoriously spiky; of
the 1987 film The Princess Bride, she wrote, the movie is ungainlyyou
can almost see the chalk marks its not hitting. And, while she seemed
to adore Yentl, she called Shoah, which is considered one of the
greatest documentaries of all time, a form of self-punishment. (She
was wrong, but thats for another day.) Then there was the rock critic
Ellen Willis, who had the temerity to trash the Woodstock festival, in
1969, and a few years later lamented, of David Bowie, that there was
nothing provocative, perverse, or revolting about him, and announced
plainly that his more recent stuff bores me.

Some workplace norms can be unexpected when you first join the world

rethinking of traditional work clothing habits could be a good thing,
for example. But other norms just seem to make sense, like being
friendly, professional, and above all, civil to your colleagues and
bosses. New research from the Society for Human Resource Management
(SHRM) explains that office civility does more than make your
co-workers feel comfortable, it also helps in creating a dynamic,
