I'm a programmer with almost 20 years of experience, and I'm dyslexic. I can do the job well, but interviews are often the hardest part. They're stressful, expect quick answers, and demand heavy use of working memory.

That's not how programming actually works. In real work, we use notes, tools, documentation, and time to process, digest, and reason about them

I'd like to connect with other dyslexic programmers to talk about interview environments and how they could better work for us.

If you're dyslexic, or involved in hiring, I'd love to hear your experiences.
