Disclaimer: I'm just a random person on the internet, but a lot of issues you wrote about ringed home to me. So below here is how I dealt with all of them. And in some cases, I'm simply offering a thing or two here, because I feel like you need some companionship (and since I have no clue on how to meet people during this pandemic, I'm doing it this way). > I write Python but I never learned how to use the Python debugger. I can show you my workflow. Feel free to email me. I love debuggers. > Every time I'm asked to give an estimate for something I feel like I'm pulling a random number out of my ass. I think a lot of us do. I came to accept that this is the way it is. > I tried to learn TypeScript and React and I just can't get it. I've learned enough React and TypeScript to have some insights into this. Self-learning this takes around 100 hours. This is how I did it: - Read a book (e.g. Road to React) and code whatever the book says - Then make a project on your own that is like the project of the book but not completely - Now make a project (small) that is something different You're now ready to code in actual React. My route for this was: 1. Code whatever Road to React says 2. Make a favorites app. List your favorite websites and give it 1 to 5 stars. 3. My thesis (tbh convincing the academic board that a React project was scientific was as hard as the project itself :P). My thesis was an XML parser that feed to output to React components which would be rendered. Note: the XML language was academic and my claim was that there would be a 30% code reduction by using React, which was true as no parsing was needed anymore, you could use a webpack plugin. > My wife isn't a gamer and there's nobody to play with me. I've noticed that I only like and play games because my friends play them. And I then become quite competitive and practice that game over and over and over again. I always wondered why I was addicted to games, it was just a distorted way for my need for human contact. With that said, feel free to email me to play Among Us. It's one of the few games that I allow myself to play (as long as I know someone who wants to play as well). > eat the cheapest fast food lunch alone during work days In my country it's quite easy to circumvent this as we have good bread, butter and peanutbutter (so I simply make that as a sandwich, super quick), throw in some tangerines and that's my "fastfood". Do you have similar ways of doing that? > When I'm off work and get home, I take care of watching over the little one do her homework, I have supper and I do the dishes, and then it gets late and I have no more energy to do anything useful. For the past 6 months, I mostly worked 4 days per week instead of 5. The difference is massive. It sounds like your energy is being depleted too much for what you can handle right now.
