most impacted are technical consultants ( outside experts that merely provide high level consulting ) -- their recommendations will be scrutinized more closely
My teams first go-to is ChatGPT as well. SO is no longer 'that site' to go to ( been on SO for 10+ years ). I have 0 love for that site. It was 'The resource' before, now it's just another site..
As a (backend) Java dev, I couldn't let that stand. And indeed I found out java now offers a tool called jlink with first class support, that will create a system native (e.g. .dmg on my macbook) executable with the JRE embedded. The javafx example project* I found could be downloaded, built and run from its native release all within less than 5 minutes.
Mind you the Hello World example executable is 80mb and takes 6 seconds to start, but I feel like with the garbage we are used to in regards to desktop applications, this totally holds up -doesn't everything else usually bundle all of chrome? I have also read there are simple command line options to reduce the size to about 50mb.

use any frontend js tech you want
automatically go functions exposed to the js side so you don't need to think about making endpoints, it makes and uses a websockets between the binary and the ui
uses WebView2 and not chrome
