The good news is most business problems are not that hard.
There are domains where you really have to be a crackerjack engineer, but most jobs just need you to know how to push and pull things out of datastores, make network requests, map data structures, and maybe render the results on a web page.
Technical job interviewers loves to grill candidates on reversing binary trees, or obscure programming language trivia -- but the job itself will be building a CRUD app.
So what should you do? If you enjoy programming, I'd say stick with it. Not everyone needs to be working on ground breaking cryptography or compiler optimizations. Sounds like you just need to find a tech stack and problem space where you can feel comfortable working on it.
Because negative news articles about cannabis are almost always flimsy studies trying to spread fear and push an agenda.
If cannabis was legal everywhere almost no one would care about these studies.
However, cannabis is illegal in most places and there is a battle for opinions where groups are trying to spread FUD about how "weed is killing babies".
It's fighting for people to have a rational stance and pushing for policies that don't imprison people over a substance on par with alcohol that brings out the defenders on any article like this.
Knowledge and learning can be it's own reward. But if you need the motivation to build something you know has already been done, and probably done better, think about it as building the skills necessary to create something of value later.
Also, as you build and learn you'll discover new things you could be learning and come up with solutions to problems that haven't been solved.
Based on how low it is on the rankings compared to other languages I'd say not many.
I have no data to back this up other than my anecdotal personal experience but I'd wager Perl hackers who use Homebrew never use it to install Perl.
Most of the classic Perl documentation walks you through installing from source, which is quite easy, and modern documentation/tutorials usually refer to perlbrew.
The Perl community often has established solutions within their own ecosystem, and this makes them seem like they have a smaller presence then the otherwise would have.
Having used many different web frameworks in many different languages, Mojolicious is by far my favorite.
It's super easy to get started. The documentation and community are incredibly helpful.
Mojolicious has many powerful built in tools, but it is easy to replace those with something else or work outside the framework when you need more flexibility.
Distracting open floor plans, no access to healthy foods, not being able to see my children throughout the day.
I live less than a mile from my office - and I still WFH full time.
