> I don't give a single fuck about the salary of the 0.0001% of the population that is billionaire CEO, that's not the problem. The problem is that basic necessities have been turned into a profit-printing machine and you pay 2K a month for a 500 square feet apartment in London.

Interesting that you don’t see those things as part of the same problem but rather two separate unrelated issues.

Ill tell you a cool trick: just halve your hours. This is what i do. You’ll still challenge yourself but with more constraints.

Learn to let go of things and let them get a little fucked up. It makes the people around you feel better too.

Find ways to expand yourself but not technically. See how much joy you can inject into your workplace rather than story points.

An interesting tool for sure. One thing that makes me not want to use it is the forcing of browsing commit by commit. Seeing the whole pull request makes much more sense foe my workflow

Intro classes to things you’re interested in. A once a week for four-six weeks course will get you enough exposure to become friends with at least one cool person in the class.

Volunteering in the community you live brings a wide array of people and there’s usually downtime for talking.

Blind contour drawings of something in your house every day for 20 minutes for three months. Do that and you’ll be better at drawing than most people

Because even if your name is on it, the idea that “you” made it is not really true. Someone made materials for you, somebody taught you the skills needed to make the thing. There was a whole functioning society that allowed the work to be made in the first place. The society was also the thing that enforced the property rights for some arbitrary length of time. At some point, the society that helped create the work should share in the spoils.

Why not work on something else that makes you happy? Pick up a new skill to exercise a different part of your body or brain? Take time to take care of yourself, cook a nice meal, meditate, call your parents. Build relationships, repair old ones you may have neglected. Very few people wish that they worked more when they get older.

Dude, please find a therapist. See if your employer works with any mental health providers and if not, try finding one on https://www.psychologytoday.com/ . Yes it's expensive and time consuming, but this is the most important step you can take to better your life. Please do this, work is a band aid you are using to distract yourself from serious issues. They will catch up eventually.
