I haven't had a stroke, and many of these tips are, IMO, important for the unimpaired productive software developer.

I don’t know if this is as niche as the author thinks: there’s a lot of great advice for non-stroke survivors in there too.

Didn't have a stroke, but in addition to developing software, I developed "software" brain issues too.

Love this!

Good ME/CFS engineer advice too. Thanks for writing up OP

Good to see more awareness of this. 20 yrs working as a developer, suffered a stroke last year (ischaemic), in hospital for a week, back working out of necessity not too long after that. Gravity of the condition never occurred to me until much later; self employed, main income provider for the house, recovery full of fatigue and emotional turmoil. It's a slow road, I think I'm very lucky and definitely main changes are stress management, diet/lifestyle and rebalancing of work commitments. Everyone's different, but it's not as uncommon a condition as people think. But it certainly can be utterly devastating so please do look after each other and yourselves. Brain injury and recovery takes time and because it's not visible it's very easy to forget or overlook that it's there and healing

Excellent advice, for everybody. Thank you!

I think AI as it's currently implemented is a plague upon humanity, but I do appreciate it helping me to locate the word that's on the tip of my tongue and which my battered brain can't seem to draw a neural route to, so that I'm not sitting there for 20 minutes trying to fight the Einstellung effect and brain fog.

Stay away from vibe coding. It will cause more stress and provoke aneurysms -;)
