There is one problem though. That happens a lot (I have homeless Syrian people in mind) but the government does not allow them the right to work so they can't get out of poverty.

Maybe I am wrong but at least two points mentioned in your comment are US specific :

"It is caused by peoples' jobs not paying a living wage" Where I come from minimum wage is enough to pay for a rent.

"the cops really hate the homeless. Someone can't periodically destroy a bunch of peoples' meager shelter in completely unproductive "sweeps" without developing a view that they're less than human." Again I may be wrong but where I live there are no 'homeless villages' like there are in the US.

You (or them) being a bad programmer or not is not really the question (even though you seem to be right).

I think you should step back from the code and talk to the people. Ask them why they did something like this or like that. Show them that you value their work but that it is a shame that you can't fully enjoy it.

Do not start a situation in which it is them vs you.

I do that for some services I rarely use. That works actually fairly well.

> It can’t be more inconvenient than having to go through a password reset process once a week (which believe it or not, a TON of end users do).

That is what I do with many services I use. I ask a reset password link every time I use them. I then just copy paste a random passphrase as new password and forget about it.

The design looks good but what a strange way to see you life ! If you need to write down 'Do 10 minute Meditation for 200 times' maybe you don't like meditating that much and should stop doing it instead of forcing yourself to do it.

Do something meaningful in your free time (and try to work less and have more free time).

That is a given for every resident in most European countries.

Edit: it seems I am wrong. I commented a bit too fast.

I have been learning Japanese for a while and I am at a level good enough to consume native content. You don't realize how hard it is to buy (mostly digital) Japanese content online. I believe it is due to 20th century pre internet zoning regulations. On several occasions I spent a lot of time trying to buy some stuff legally but it was so hard or impossible that I ended up consuming pirated content.

Google apps store does not allow you to buy an app in Japanese from the UK, Amazon.jp requires a different account than amazon.co.uk (which is not the case for amazon.com), Netflix does not provide Japanese subtitles for animes, same for steam, some games are in many languages but not Japanese.

At some point I as listening a lot of nursery rhymes song with my child. When doing this I just let the recommendation algorithm choose the next song for me because I don't really care what to watch next. After a few week I was stuck in a two song loop where song N+1 was equal to song N-1...

Also, the tech may enable wonders but the implementation may suck. If you have an amazing technology but the scenario of all the movies / games using this technology turn out to be the Nth version of the same story (like basically every movie on Netflix) then it is subpar compared to a book.

I think a domain where it can exceptionally shine is the adult entertainment industry.
