Panel Discussion: How to Work with Other Po
summary
Panelists give concrete practices for neurodiversity in PostgreSQL communities: use sunflower lanyard badges at conferences, publish personal README pages explaining communication and sensory needs, run scheduled body‑doubling sessions and 25‑minute pomodoro playlists for focus, offer meeting transcripts and two time slots for all‑hands, adjust hiring tests and dashboards (colorblind palettes) and allow flexible remote schedules; several people report these small changes cut friction, reduce burnout, and improve retention.
