I think the actual benefit of ADHD and programming is perseveration. Meaning we struggle to pull away from a task when it's time. Like putting down the video game and going to school.

What happens with programming is getting stuck on fixing a bug. Not being able to put the controller down until you figure out where the missing comma is and why your code won't work.

It's extremely valuable and a lot of people struggle with a bug and give up really easily.

Getting started working on something, or planning out a project on the other hand is the real tough part.

On the flip side I've always heard telling other people makes you feel accountable...

But that's never worked for me, so not telling people might make more sense.

For the language, I went in and set it for my user for the subtitles and audio.

I also have bazaar setup to clean up the subtitles.

I was going to come here to say this. As a person who lives in Org-mode, go for it if you're interested and have a few years to dedicate to it. Check out org-roam.

Obsidian if you want to do something with your life and get 90% of the benefit of org mode and roam out of the box.
