Show me a production website that does not use things like Caching, CDN's to serve static content or other optimizations to enhance performance It's the same as any other public facing service. I don't know what you are yapping about.
Whats wrong with a project that does something useless? I can find tons of them on Github.

"That said, this is really just an overall example of how not to date or interact with people in general though"

Couldn't agree more. Try new hobbies and adventures and find more purposely intriguing things to spend your time. For example find a good cause and volunteer or join a outdoors club. This will improve your social skills instead of being bland and talk about work all the time.
