Why hire an autist
The name is blunt on purpose. This is not soft-focus neurodiversity crap. It is a hiring argument.
Highly weaponized autism is obsessive pattern recognition and sustained concentration. I sometimes code for 16 hours straight because it's fun for me.
That shows up in architecture reviews, debugging, product tradeoffs, and the final polish. Point me at the nasty engineering problem, the brittle system, or the slow product surface. That is usually where I become most useful.
- No, I will not solve your leetcode interview problems.
- No, I will not waste my fucking time with trivia questions.
- Yes, I will solve that bug that's been in your system since the CEO vibecoded a new feature 6 months ago and pushed to prod on a Saturday night while you were on PagerDuty and probably had a beer in your hand.
Obsessive depth on systems work other people abandon halfway through.
Pattern recognition that catches architectural drift before it becomes an outage.
Direct communication that cuts through fuzzy ownership and fake consensus.
A delivery bias strong enough to turn difficult ideas into working software.
Career timeline
The pattern is stable across nearly two decades: hard systems, shipped products, and measurable outcomes.
