I agree, I wouldn’t mention this to your manager OP. I’d just start leaving a few hours early whenever you feel like it/can do it without being noticed.

I’m in a similar position— put in extra work for about a year after being promised a promotion, was told there wasn’t room to promote this cycle, so now I quietly take some half days and spend a lot less time at my desk than I used to.

Yaaay I just had mine two weeks ago :) I hope you found a great doctor and can start getting the care you deserve

In my experience, Typescript lets me think significantly less hard because I’m not having to “compile” the types in my head all the time. I think even with no Javascript experience I’d recommend starting with Typescript.
