Well, programming is now a career choice for extraverts and sociable types, because Agile methodologies and "beware a guy in a room" have normalized more studio meddling from the top. So if there's a pill I can pop to make me more sociable, sign me up if it'll help me find or keep work.

That's a very bleak view, having to drug oneself to keep a job. I wish you, or anyone, for that matter, needs to do that for the sake of capitalism

		What can I say, it's a bleak world. People with depression, ADHD, autoimmune syndromes, and other physical or mental disorders drug themselves so they can function in society, so it's not like that's new.

		I mean we spend 8-10hours a day working at someone else’s command. Things are already bleak. Normal is what you/society says it is.

sign me up as well. if i can take a drug to have a better life i’d gladly pay whatever it costs. it sucks to feel as socially isolated as i do. might even improve my job prospects since so many of my rejections seem to be from my neurodivergence not meeting their high standards
