   Much the same as the main message (as I remember) of the "The Healthy Programmer" book (which you should totally read by the way ... most researched, elaborate and "balanced" (AFAIS) reading on the topic I've came across).

   I program for money, often hating it, because I'm relatively competent at it, and then I program for fun because I love it

   I'm in the same boat!

   I increasingly believe I may have an attention deficit disorder on top of diagnosed depression I'm dealing with

   Have you tried exercising, getting enough sleep, eating healthier, doing more "outside" or social activities and/or testing out nootropics like citicoline/noopept? All of these have helped me greatly! BTW, highly recommend checking out The Healthy Programmer book: https://pragprog.com/book/jkthp/the-healthy-programmer

   life sometimes deals shitty cards

   Virtual manly hug mate!

   Give everyone in the team copies of the book "The Healthy Programmer". Problems focusing could be anything from blood sugar level or thyroid to food allergies.
