Perhaps while you are looking for a programming job, you could work on an
open source project as a volunteer. Fix some bugs and start to build a
"portfolio" of programming successes/examples that you can show to
potential employers. No face to face interaction needed, just email. Might
help you

ADD can be great for Software engineering, but very challenging for
Waterfall testing cycles. however If you document your code and what you
are doing you can still code quite nicely.
In It you will have similar mundane things where the ADD kicks in and make
it challenging. Having lived with ADD
another area of interest could be database management, especially on older

I don’t mind talking with you, but I think you’re being given some rather

Programmers as a whole tend to be introverts and rather anti-social. At least
us older folks fit that mold. The younger ones are a bit more sociable.
I am also a victim of the state vocational rehab system. Being blind, over age
50, etc., I spent the last several years trying to get trained to work with

Most web developers will have more interaction with a wider group of people
than the average programmer in my opinion. Also, good HTML code is far
Hi Trent!
Ping me directly. I'd love to help out!
I've been doing Web Design (*some very light development*) since about 2000
and BASH since 2010, only recently moving into Python.
I've tried college twice, but never had the concentration, will or desire
to finish.

Dear plug-discuss,
I currently work as a telephone customer service representative. There are
no sales, but I still hate it, it pays poorly, and I'm bad at it.
