Spicy brains & real code: Simen Daehlin talks coding with neurodiversity
Manage episode 522260354 series 2842995
In this episode, we talk with Simen, a senior software engineer and creator of Almost Done, a weekly email newsletter designed for neurodivergent developers and anyone who thinks a little differently. Simen shares how he built a format that supports real attention - short, scannable essays, intentional accessibility choices, and four writing “personas” that shape each issue’s tone.
We explore his creative workflow, why timing matters for engagement, and the “subscriber-first” philosophy that keeps the newsletter personal. Simen also opens up about career growth, simplicity in engineering, and practical systems that help with ADHD traits like hyperfocus and time blindness.
It’s an honest, uplifting conversation about writing, technology, and building a kinder approach to productivity. If the episode resonates, check out Almost Done and share it with someone who’d enjoy it.
