Maybe I’m in the minority, but I am of the firm belief after much deliberation and consideration that it actually is awesome that downvotes are public and it makes for a much more responsible voting environment overall. To suffer the problems of bots and agitators is not preferable to this small but meaningful way of encouraging highlighting the opinions of actual human beings more democratically
Taking amphetamines improves this ability and can fix your issue. But the reason, is because you don’t enjoy this as much as writing code. You enjoying what you do gives you executive power and control over what you focus on, and getting more money is not something that allows you to overcome this, if it’s not stimulating, it’s not as easy for you to do it.

Jk but I took the route of doing what I love and damn the money. I have to use what dopamine reserves and energy I have on other things in life, household and stuff, and if both drain me I am not as capable as if I adjust my priorities. And I have kids so it’s not hard to choose really. I still count this as a blessing, since when I do stuff I love and they don’t bore me, I can enjoy hyper focus and productivity, and then have energy for life too
