If you're not dating anyway and don't own your house outright prison with computer access honestly doesn't sound bad at all.
No need to worry about rent, no need to worry about healthcare, no need deal with all this social crap.
Terrifying that slinging code for years on end is what one aspires to as a free individual pondering asceticism.
Almost sounds like you haven’t watched season 3 episode 9 of a little documentary called The Office.
You can have that now on the outside if that’s what you want. Start with one room in your house. Remove everything but a dedicated cheap computer and a table and a bed and a bottle of water. Strictly limit the apps you can use or the sites you can access.
Something like prison probably is the most productive environment one could be in. It almost completely eliminates the need for self discipline because it's all enforced.
