It's important to tell the readers how long you've been doing this - especially to those that also manage ADHD or ADHD-like symptoms.

Why? Because those individuals tend to spin something up, tell everyone about it (online, and offline) and then stop doing it few days later.

The result then ends up being a false signal for others in the same boat. People who read it, feel a spark of recognition ("someone like me actually figured this out"), and then invest real time, energy, maybe money, into replicating something the author themselves quietly abandoned two weeks later.

Just a small heads up from someone who used to get burned in the past :)
