For me, I had to find some things where you can enjoy it alone, but also find a community and sometimes be social: Roller skating, Pinball tournaments, board games (and board game bars). Pinball especially has been great for me, as it has a near unlimited skill ceiling, but is also fun and interesting even when playing poorly.
To find community, check out Instagram for local people in your hobby, and follow the trail of suggestions to the big local “community” accounts. E.g. my metro has 2-3 big roller skating community-run accounts that announce all of the events.
I personally found that making time for a “hobby” that was also athletic was a huge mood stabilizer and positively impacted the rest of my life as well. Highly recommend!
The state of the docs is what got me to dump all of the links I'd been collecting to useful, but hard to find docs in to a small website -- https://www.iosdev.recipes/
Apple has been doing a great job in some aspects at documenting more and updating things gradually, but at the same time, has been hiding more and more of the "old" docs and it's a shame since many of them are still correct, relevant and useful.
There's only one actual website backing the help documents, so that's what it'll link to. It does, however, manage to pull out the text and serve it to you, which I guess is sort of a win?
I write reference-style articles on confusing/underused areas of iOS development, and maintain links to hard to find documentation over at https://www.iosdev.recipes
I’m a product-minded iOS and api backend developer looking for interesting teams to work with at any stage of development, from initial prototyping to late-stage maintenance.

I specialize in identifying and fixing hard-to-find bugs on iOS and have worked at previous companies to raise crash-free rates dramatically.
For iOS especially, I can help with: Core Data, multi-threading issues (GCD, NSOperationQueue), memory pressure and general performance issues.
