Hacking the Hedonic Treadmill

I don't think I'd be much happier. I work 4 days per week. I need it in order to keep exercising my logical side, because I exercise it a lot less in my personal life.

Those Civ5/Civ6 custom maps won't beat themselves... IOW, there's plenty other activities that heavily involve logical side which are not paid coding work.

Of course there are plenty of other activities, but I get paid to do this and I like the ability to actually build something. Civ5/Civ6 feels meaningless in comparison. What have I actually effected in the world? Nothing

What you need is semen retention to get back your child hood. Nothing feels meaningless on a long streak.
