There's a lot of humour in there, but this:
CSCI 3300: Classical Software Studies
Discuss and dissect historically significant products, including VisiCalc, AppleWorks, Robot Odyssey, Zork, and MacPaint. Emphases are on user interface and creativity fostered by hardware limitations.
I'd take that course in a heart beat. I've read some of Atkinson's ideas and thoughts, and the man was deeply sane.
It must be decades now that my LinkedIn background banner is a screen shot of Zork source code.
I'm using Sync (on android) and it's quite pleasant. No ads, does what it needs to.
I just tried it. There's ads on every screen. Bye, Boost!
You go from being sad to just not caring. That very much does not make you happy, but it might make you stop complaining.
There's a comic where the doc then says "good enough!" and that's supposed to be funny. Ha ha ha. Same reason I stopped reading Dilbert: it's not really funny when it's an accurate account of what really happened.

I know you weren't asking for advice, but a good first step is to set your map navigation to always show North up (not route up). This helps mental map pieces align and fall into place.
Just one data point, but my ex wife would take a deep breath every time she was in a parking garage because she really liked that smell.
Well, OP didn't specify good jokes....
...and then you get reprimanded for lackluster productivity (judging by progress on the projects on your own plate). 😑
You lifting up others doesn't translate to losing yourself up, unless there is (unusually) healthy culture about that in your company.
You have a wonderful way with words. 😊
This is quite an accomplishment. Kudos.
For my family, the biggest hurdles by far is a mail/calendar combo that works as well and supports sharing etc, and how the hell to migrate out of Gmail when so many of my emails have several labels which won't translate cleanly into IMAP folders. I wonder how you tackled those, or how you compromised.
