Vibe coding hands the implementation over to AI agents. The developer describes what they want, and the agent explores the project, edits files, and iterates on the result. This changes what programming asks of a developer: less sustained attention on writing code, more directing and orchestrating agents.

We were curious what this shift means for ADHD software developers. Their traits often became difficulties in conventional programming, where progress depended on staying with one task from start to finish. We wanted to investigate whether the same traits look different once agents carry out the implementation.

We’re currently working on this project, and we’re hoping to share it with the community soon :)
