Try negative utilitarianism, it's much more consistent. Pleasure is overrated.

It’s too late for the OP but for the rest - consider if you can handle stress of your own at its peak and having kids before having them.

Unless return from the extra investment to make the software Arabic-compatible is worth it for the company, nobody’s going to care.

This. Good software can be made even when using Electron - just take a look at Visual Studio Code. It pains me during my work as a software developer how many times we have to cut edges, because companies want to minimize their expenses (and developers get in a habit of doing so even when they don’t have to).

Cryptos make rich richer.

What Second Life is missing is the decentralization and newer graphic/scripting engine. Creator of Second Life already tried to create VR metaverse with those issues solved and it didn't catch on.

People have too much of dopamine rush from the ordinary social media to get engaged in such complex projects.

I have mental imagery but it loses clarity with age, so I use less and less.

I do have inner voice but I don’t feel a constant need to use it, I can think and understand thoughts without it - actually, it’s hard for me to vocalize more complex thoughts. If I’d have to vocalize everything then my mental capacity would be severely limited. I suggest you to try to get rid of it and you’d surprised how much faster you can think in pure concepts.

Is it possible to make something without a crypto?

Being offline is a luxury only rich people can afford.

Don’t aim for big companies, but a little ones that are just starting. That’s how I got into industry after failing just like you.

It’s all about making money. Almost nobody in business department cares about the quality of software and its actual usefulness as long as its selling. It’s possible to sell shitty software and get high returns through manipulation and marketing.

Antidepressants. Venlafaxine is quite good - there are no initial side effects. You might try a herb - St. John’s Wort but for me, it wasn't strong enough. Lifestyle changes can help but sometimes they aren't enough.
