I encountered most of the issues described so I set out to solve this problem. I did the horrible bad thing: I rewrote my projects from scratch. It took me about a year, pretty much all of 2018. I could afford to do this because I was separated from both work and family by military education and a military deployment immediately following. Now I have software that is stupid fast to extend and maintain. My software now executes faster than comparable applications coming out of Facebook with more options and at a very tiny size after accounting for dependcies. Now I finally have time to watch all the shows I have missed and play games since my software has fewer defects compared to similar applications and is faster to patch. I did get tired of the asshole factor though and even deleted my Reddit account as a result. Now it’s harder to promote my software online but deleting my reddit account again opened up more personal time.
