    I can only speak from my experience (USA based), but:

    You can get access to drugs you may or may not wish to use.

    Any new life insurance plan’s premiums will go up as soon as you get prescribed those meds.

    You will probably go through a period of post diagnosis regression as you reevaluate unhealthy coping mechanisms you’ve developed. Even if you think you already accept your brain for its difficulties and quirks.

    You might spend a couple months being really annoying about your diagnosis as you figure out how to incorporate it into your identity. This lines up with a lot of the post diagnosis regression.

    On the far side, you might end up redeveloping new coping strategies that are slightly less shame driven. But the demands of the world around you probably won’t flex around your new diagnosis.

    TBH if you’re old enough to be on here you probably already know how to manage your environment and needs to live in the world, it’s just a question of if you can actually acknowledge you have special needs and if you’re capable of being kind to yourself while addressing them. And a diagnosis does help with quelling the anxiety around “do I actually have special needs or is everybody like this”

    Ah, that sounds correct to me.

    My interpretation is probably distorted by having worked at big companies that have arms in basically every part of software development so there is no side project programming that is “out of scope” there.

    But working at a company with a narrower focus would let you moonlight more freely.

    Not quite. instead of a bundled pinned version of electron, it is an arbitrary version of edge’s WebKit fork shared across all programs using it. That means you don’t need to keep multiple copies of the webkit libraries loaded into memory.

    That’s not to say that building things on web technology is an efficient use of resources. Even if multiple programs are sharing the webview2 library, they’re still dealing with the fundamental performance and memory problems caused by building an app in JavaScript.

    As for why teams is so memory hungry? I would blame Teams.

    Discord manages to make a half decent, highly responsive webview app, and that’s with the overhead of having its own separate instance of electron.

    EDIT: the original poster was also talking about application binary size, not runtime memory consumption. Application binary size should actually be significantly helped by linking webview to instead of bundling electron.

    Definitely seems like they want the layoff from my position in the industry.

    The tech megagiants are massively reallocating their budgets from “paying people for new product development” to datacenter build-outs, under the belief that AI will fundamentally restructure all knowledge work into property you can own and extract rent from.

    Unfortunately the industry is completely non union and a good chunk of employees are on H1B or TN visas where they will get deported if they get fired. That really puts a damper on wanting to rock the boat.

    Expect things to get less stable and shittier over time as this trend continues.
