What helped me most is to have conversations with strangers. Try it in real life. Talk to the guy sitting alone at the bar. Have small-talk with the other person pumping gas. This will help you professionally.
It exists, it's called a geothermal heat pump / ground-source heat pump.
There is a theory that multiplayer is more interesting than singleplayer because you are playing against unpredictable characters.

Someone toyed with this idea by letting the player of the game play against animals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DXiuzAQztU

I'm pretty sure that a significant portion of programmers are night owls and don't like showing up before 10 AM.

What are your experiences with creative jobs? I'm currently making 1.5 times median income (compared to the rest of the country) as a Java back-end programmer. But it's not the most exciting job because all I'm doing is keeping legacy code alive and implementing new business specifications.

I have thought of going back to my old job as web-developer, doing cool stuff with Node, Angular and all the cool cutting-edge technology. But I'll only earn a median income if I do that.

Or go straight into management and earn 2 to 2.5 times median. But that seems even more boring.
