Personally, it depends, but it’s not as irritating as people often imagine it might be. If I have a particular relationship to a piece, it can be strange hearing it in another key, just as it’s sometimes strange hearing something performed by another instrument. The cultural context also matters; it would definitely be odd going to a piano concert and hearing a Steinway not tuned to A440, but hearing a group playing on period instruments at Baroque pitch feels fine.


It’s interesting to note the OP jumped into starting a company at 23. I’ve worked as a developer at 3 companies with a Scrum methodology since graduating university 5 years ago and I’ve struggled in each. I’m constantly told off for my time management, and I struggle with most meetings (the disruption they cause, paying attention, and keeping on-topic). If anything it’s worse as I’ve got more experience as more is expected of me. In some senses the structure sounds like it should help but it never feels like it. I’m wondering: have other devs with ADD found Scrum difficult and have they thrived better in a different work environment?
