For me switching between code and tests is a context switch. TDD approaches that I'm familiar with encourage frequent swapping between them which really drains my productivity. It's much easier for me start something and hyperfocus than it is to swap back and forth.



I think the true struggle of ADHD is that you’re in fact constantly context switching. There’s the great theory that being adhd is an evolutionary advantage because it made hunting easier.

Not as big as the context switch that is between code and browsing the GUI of your app.
