    This sounds a lot like me. Whether I have ADHD is something I’ve been wondering for some time now, but the descriptions of ADHD are always so conflicting to me, because every symptom can be taken as a evidence or counterevidence by changing perspective, partly because of this duality you described.











  • I don’t see a reason to spell it phonetically when it is a real word (forge in esperanto). A phonetic spelling would also only be more digestible to readers who know the language the phonetic spelling is tailored at (phonetic spelling is language specific as different languages use different ways to represent different sounds).

    ĝ is simply the english sound of the consonants in the following words: “john”, “gem”, “jar”. And j is pronounced as the y in “yes” and “yoink”

    The diacritic would clear up confusion, because “g” without the diacritic has different sound (like the g in “gamma”, “girl”, “go” in english). The diacritic as a bonus would also makes it clear that it isn’t supposed to be pronounced it as if it were in english, because english does not use the ^ diacritic. It would also extinguish my annoyance at seeing a misspelled word being used as a trademark.

    Comments are super useful but soooo overused

    I think overusing comments is a non-issue. I’d rather have over-commented code that doesn’t need it, over undocumented code without comments that needs them. If this over-commenting causes some comments to be out of date, those instances should hopefully be obvious from the code itself or the other comments and easily fixed.
