At a company the size of Facebook, the CEO should not be involved at that level.

Typescript and C# are both developed and maintained by Microsoft, and the lead architect of C# is also the creator of Typescript. (Both great languages, IMO)

Those support groups don't give advice about medicine.

There's a lot of dangerous advice in these comments.

Psychiatrists are doctors.

You're a frontend engineer, not a doctor. You're not qualified to give advice on medicine.

PLEASE do not read any of these people's advice. Talk to a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, preferably a DOCTOR. DO NOT trust your mental health to strangers on the internet, be it reddit, or hacker news, or whatever.

If you are based in the US and live nearby a university they usually have good counseling services and the infrastructure to refer people even if you're not attending the school. Search "{school} counseling services" on google.

It's literally the name of the resource:

I'm in a similar situation and it's really frustrating. As an individual contributor, the more senior and skilled that I become, the less of a chance I have to actually use my expertise and skills to lead projects or deliver features that make an impact and create value. I'm constantly steered towards absolute time-wasting activities. Recently my company has become convinced Kafka is going to solve all our problems, and executives have OKR's related to the number of queues teams implement and it's impossible to launch anything now without a queue. My boss is making me join this cross-team initiative to gratuitously add queues to services that receive a dozen requests per minute at PEAK throughput. Also, there's no functional benefit to adding queues to these services, if anything it only makes them more difficult to administer.

Sorry, I just needed to vent.
