Absolutely true, yet then at least I would feel at ease with myself if we agree to the terms. All cards on the table and I won't have to feel bad about myself because I procrastinated on filling 37.12 .xlsx files with the detailed diary about my work.

What kind of terms do you mean? Opening with "I might procrastinate" will make interviewing much more difficult - many companies will disqualify you regardless of their mental health initiatives.

Well, of course I don't do interviews like that.

But keep in mind one thing. If I go and say that I wrote at least one application in (probably more but, let's size it down) in 25 different languages people usually think I'm a con. I can't say I use the technology X and I'm expert on it neither because I'm going to be asked about some obscure thing that I don't care and it's the end.

What I always find the funniest is that the interviewers always sees the worst of me during interviews. Anxiety of evaluation is often breaking me. Most of the high profile interviews I had followed the schema: get nervous -> can't sleep -> sleep 1h/night prior to test/interview -> after 2 interviews forget basic math due to exhaustion -> uneven performance -> bye

However I'd like to be transparent about it, so that I can get a partner and feel better and deliver (as even though I procrastrinate it's not something I want - I'd love to deliver 100% of the time), so I help you, you help me.

And I do have a rather good rep sheet, thus throwaway. I believe people would feel cheated if they'd know otherwise.
