I'm not sure I have any tips, but I can absolutely relate. Maybe I will think of something as the White Claw I'm having on my cross-country flight kicks in. It is nice to know I'm not the only one who is driven crazy by the onslaught of bad practices that result in both vulnerabilities and bad user experience overall. Some seem totally blind to it or accept it as is. Even if you find flaws, businesses are little interested in keeping them from frequently popping up. There's too much money flowing for anyone to care. It reminds me of the old days of Wall Street in a way. My only bit of advice would be to consider how much you are willing to tolerate on the job and to otherwise disengage from worthless brain input in all areas of life. There's a certain amount you will never change, so you might as well be happy in the process. Now that you are aware of how broken things are, don't invite those broken things into your life. Only pay peripheral attention to the news. When it's appropriate, inform people of how bad the situation is, but set it aside when their eyes inevitably glaze over. Accept that you've done your part and that you deserve better than pessimism and depression. Realize that despite the worst things about tech, the world will move on and you'll always have enjoyment and serenity absent tech or even employment.
