One can make it even cheaper sharpening used double razors. There used to be devices just for that.

You are either being followed as you said, or you are having a psychotic break, both scenarios are dangerous.
You need help from someone you trust, usually family or very close friends.
Low code can deliver some features 4x faster but sometimes a stupid feature can take 20x the time just because the low code platform wont support that. Or sometimes the solution is so ugly that the whole project becomes a mess.
If you want to deliver top quality stuff you are constantly fighting the low code limitations.
However, if you are OK with low code limitations it can be benefical.
I read sometime ago that Brazil was the only country where certain luxury brands would accept installments. ( Jewelry, watches, etc ),
But I was unable to sleep. I stayed awake for 3 days in a row, then I completely lost my mind, I was mixing reality with fantasy. My wife took me to emergency were I was given antipsychotics which broke that state and I was able to sleep.
But for the next weeks I had crying episodes out of nowhere and they gave me a higher AP dosages.
Slowly I was able to stabilize, but it took me months. The AP side effects were also awful.
Did the mushroom trip did this? Probably not, but it trigger the sleep deprivation which chain-reacted to something worse.
Today, my clients just don't care at all if the frontpage is 10MB as long they can have a multi banner hero with a video running in the background.
Side note: I worked on a chatbot widget project where the tech PO was pushing us to move from react to preact to save 8kb on a 60kb script. I said, why bother? There is a 1.2MB image on the front page. Just give me access to the front page assets and I can save 800kb alone on that image.
You can cherry pick projects that are interesting to you, and you can jump to another company every few months.
Just try to avoid long commitment projects.
For example: A few quick jobs I did in the past:
- Jump into a startup sourcecode and find out why the whole microservice ecosystem would fall like a house of cards after some time. Didn't have to fix it myself, just provide evidences.
- Create a brand new embedable front-end library for a marketing startup. The old one was a pile of crap.
- Setup a design system foundation for a big company.
- Integrate an existing chatbot on google home.
- Code review an entire project made by a solo dev.
- Improve performance of messy backend-frontend architecture.
