My wife suffered from PPD after the birth of our first. She also suffered antenatal depression during her second pregnancy.
SSRIs literally saved her life.
The difference to her personality was profound: the woman I knew and loved came back.
Was it a societal structure and support issue? No. She had support from myself, our families, family doctor, her obstetrician and a psychologist. My work provided me with paid time off to manage it. We had no financial concerns; she had 12 months of legally protected maternity leave with the first 6 months fully paid.
I joined a bootstrapped SaaS several years ago in a niche domain. They were making 10x that again in MRR, growing rapidly and still 100%-owned between the 2 founders. VC's knocked on their door every week but they had their own vision for growth.
How were the VCs aware of the MRR of a private company ? I'd assume some external indicator like position in the app store, but outside of that, I'm curious how'd they know ?
Kind of. .NET Framework will be the XP of .NET until Microsoft provides an actual migration path to many of the APIs and frameworks that haven't made it into .NET Core.
Plus some of those APIs that made the cut into .NET Core, like the UI ones, are Windows only.
There are also some critical tooling gaps that mean .Net Core is still broken for scenarios that worked a decade ago (FSI package management with F#, specifically).
Sorry for the loose term. Not package management a la NuGet, but how packages and their references are handled (ie managed), so that they're not available and operative in FSI on .Net Core in VS.

She was ill and the medication worked.
