Every single developer I know has some degree of ADHD. I personally don't have it as bad but I know a colleague who literally can't shut up and stop moving and bothering us all the time. Honestly If the person is not aware of their condition I don't think you can do anything about it besides try to isolate and ignore them somehow.

Where is this place where they isolate and ignore coworkers? I would like to go there! When I was younger I always dreamed of a sysadmin-like job where I can do my own thing in the background without anyone bothering me! :D Now it seems like you need to be a social butterfly to become a software engineer or a sysadmin...

look for small to medium companies that do contract research and support work for the US DOD, lots of sys admin opportunities and lots of compartmentalization due to various rules and regulations

I live in Eastern Europe. Could you give me any companies I could try? Ideally in Austria, English-only.

You should look at Elastic's job postings, those are all remote and the devs I've met from there, while sociable, are not social butterflies. Also, Raiffeisen and several other banks have positions listed that may be what you are looking for. Most other companies that aren't startups will probably want German language skills.

Thank you, will give them a go. :)

any place where you have self-respect and principals
