I pity the janitors that have to clean up after all the action

How about contributing to an open source code base for a backend or frontend web framework? Since a lot of these projects are built with scaling in mind and have often reached complexities far beyond the capabilities of a singular developer to write himself, learning how they work in depth can give you the opportunity to significantly "level up" your skills in an area adjacent to HTML/CSS/JS.

If you don't know where to begin, you can start by reading the issues and pull requests for the project on GitHub, where there is often a discussion of how to solve problems from multiple different perspectives. When you've lurked around for a while and feel like you have something to say, consider commenting and starting communication with other people working on the project. When you hang around long enough and even start making pull requests of your own, you'll have newfound expertise and new contacts to ask questions who might already be experts in the technology you wish to become an expert in.

I guess "blowing smoke up your ass" will no longer have a negative connotation

Yes. I'm also having issues with Google Optimize.

I'm a big fan of Ergodox (https://ergodox-ez.com). It's a little clunky to get used to at first, but it's so customizable that you can easily adjust for any positions your hand wants to be in. It made a huge difference for my RSI.

Great app even though it crashes every time I close a window on Mojave.

Hedge funds are not pro bono. People are still doing their jobs, and most funds are not run solely on a percentage of profit basis.

Often I find that stepping away from the computer and do a bit of "mind coding" is when I produce some of my best solutions to problems that I need to solve. I suppose this is not a perfect representation of what the author is describing because I am still actively pursuing answers in my mind. But detaching from the physical environment of the grind (i.e. sitting at a desk, staring at a blank Sublime Text window, etc.) often gives my mind just enough space to wander so that I can discover an innovative solution to a problem instead of trying to force it.
