In some countries, 'return' comes with another huge problem. A parallel hidden economy, led by corruption to swap them with old items and sell as new on same ecommerce platforms. Sometimes swapping only original parts.
Amount of money needed in managing 'authenticity/purity' of a return item is huge. From fake barcodes to fake packaging, everything is available at dirt cheap price. And ofcourse, the cheap manual labour in dire need of money.
Over the time I have learned that best way to store is to optimise for retrieval - not for storage.
I dont recommend retrieval to do anything with OCR or Full Text Search.
In my personal experience, simplest way to retrieve data is by date. If I am looking or 2018 tax records, I have already found the root folder(digital or paper). Fast enough retrieval, hmmm.
You may optimise as per you. I hope the idea helps.
I wondering if thats the default behaviour of users too. That they do prefer to reply to emails at 2 am.
It's anecdotal, but in one engineering team I talked about having culture of not sending emails after work hours. But consensus was that they have no problem with it, and some insisted that they are any way working late in nigt.
So, will-fully or forced, users are maybe performing this behaviour !
It's just idle use of my time. I remember answering some emails on the way back from the club sometimes. I'm tired, sure, but it's 4 a.m. and the drugs have worn off and now I'm just soberly going home in the back of an Uber. There's definitely enough memory access left in me to answer these questions and it's not like I can do anything else on the way back.
Titles primarily exist to justify higher pay inside a team, and/or lower pay wrt to some other company.
In simple terms, Sr. usually is an understanding that you are on your own. Do not expect any one else to tell you how or what to do. Also, the ones without Sr. title may become your responsibililty.
Though debatable, it has nothing to do with your technical skill set or experience.

Nyaaya is India’s first free online searchable repository of every central and state law. Our mission is to provide an accessible, user friendly and single window platform which not only documents, but also explains all Indian laws.

We are always looking for answers in some 'advanced' system. Forcing ourselves to do something 'hard', to prove to ourselves that we are doing something.
May be a simpler system is good enough.
1. You can better focus on producing, when your needs to consume gets satisfied. Techs such as Facebook, Instagram are designed to keep you hooked, give a hit on every use, but never lead to satisfaction. Trick is to go back to basics. Spend more quality time with people around you. The human bonding fulfils the needs that these tech claim to replace. With this alternative, your passive consumptions will automatically
decrease.
2. Contribution to the society does not have to be via creating content on web platforms.
Technology is an enabler, it should not be confused as something to do with the goal. One does not contribute to 'open source', one simply contributes to a 'mission'.
May be, you are afraid of commitment because you do not have a goal, something that you would personally want to achieve for yourself in your contribution. But your focus is on the means to achieve it. Eg. Writing blog post, creating videos.
Simplify it down. Write down your short term goal. Focus on working towards achieving it. You may realise that you do not need these platforms.
