On some deep level I do feel all of these things are a waste of time, so I end up scrolling Reddit and HN instead. Is there a firmware patch for this? ;)

It's hard to put into words. I think the essence of you questions is "what is your philosophy now, and how does it differ from before?" That's a question I've been struggling to conceptualize myself for a while now,
