there was a website that did this years ago. Manually selected, I presume, but any time of day it had a different clock with the correct time shown :)

And IIRC, the under the bridge 'remove the bug' scene is filmed just near Central station.
There's ok commission money on flights (that's why it's a side hustle) - although if people booked hotels with every flight I'd do a LOT better ;)
The advantage of OTAs is you often can find cheaper hotels/flights than travel agents provide. However, some travel agents will then match or beat these prices.
The upside of a travel agent is when things go pearshaped. A lot of OTAs are based overseas and are (apparently) reluctant to deal with refunds/rebookings as readily, and you have to deal directly with them. Try speaking to the airline and they say 'oh you booked with an OTA, talk to them', and the OTA will say 'we're waiting to hear from the airline'. A travel agent will often do all this hunting/arguing for you, and can access Sabre/other GDSs to modify bookings themselves.
I've backpacked solo through most of the 'stans and South America. It's doable. But with a family, say? Or with a group of friends with fixed timelines (eg x weeks of annual leave) I'd be using a travel agent myself for some more adventurous travels.
"Ooops, 16 Oct, 2021, was supposed to b 31 Dec 2022. My calendar error. That needs to be fixed."
In our working agile environments, you know the team's velocity. Managers know the team's velocity. Points per story include QA work. If they want something faster in this sprint, something else has to be taken out. Firm but fair, and it works very well.
As far as I can tell it's not directly related to yours - but are you aware of any software that uses say, Android OS and a camera or pre-existing photos of the inside of a house/office/building to create a 3d map? Matterport seems like it might but their Android app is not going so well.
But yeah, covid. Travel sucks right now.

Also there are so many static analysis tools. FXCop etc. Been at so many companies where there are thousands of warnings in the code, many of which were genuine bugs. At one, we fixed 16,000 warnings, and managed to close off a few dozen sev 1 crashes that people had been experiencing for ages.
Current role is about shifting quality to the left, helping build in quality into the process, and being less a "tester at the end" to which you throw something over the wall (I've not had that in probably 14 years), and someone who helps Quality Assure/Assist.
Have a look at the World Quality report this year. Spending on QA helps a lot in reducing bugs further down the line. There are always exceptions I guess, and looks like you were in that.
Next you can thread the sucker, so you could have 2-4 PS windows open and enter at a faster speed ;)
