And asking for permission for location comes up often. If you say no it will keep asking. Also asking for access to contacts, photos, etc...

While it's true that women's professional opportunities were limited in the past, I disagree that this was the sole or even primary reason for single-income stability. My grandparents' generation, for example, often saw one parent (usually the father) working a manufacturing or union job that paid enough to cover a mortgage, raise several children, and afford basics, even with the mother not working outside the home. The purchasing power of those wages was simply far greater.

I am in a similar boat. My problem is that once I lose momentum on a project I have no interest in every revisiting the work I have done. Sometimes it is a full day of coding, sometimes it is a couple continuous days coding. Once I break away from the computer and start living life it feels like to much work to load all of the project back into my brain. I would finish more projects if I didn't have friends, family, a house, or a life and sometimes I wish for that.

If the author was really done with social media they would delete their accounts. Since the accounts are not deleted the door is still open. I deleted my accounts over 5 years ago and don't miss anything. In fact I think it has strengthened my connections with friends pushing me to text and call more people. The only regret I have is as a security researcher I lose out on some good OSINT data. There are ways around it but the walled gardens are quite secure and require ID to enter.
