How many resumes/cover letters do you think I'll need in order to actually get an interview and a job?

Depends on what you put in the letter/resume. In my experience, you will either get a response quickly or no response at all, so your best strategy is to find recent job postings and apply to them quickly. In other words, every morning and evening search for new job postings and apply to them. Repeat until you get a job offer.

Minimum viable product (MVP) is a term commonly used in project management. Typically it's approached from the perspective of "let's first do the work to meet the project requirements, and leave nice-to-have features as a stretch goal (i.e. only do it if the MVP is ahead of schedule). The antithesis of MVP is scope creep, which is what you seem to be suffering from.

Ever since that IT Crowd episode I can't not pronounce pedestal as "pedal stool".

In my city there's a street that does an S turn, essentially shifting to the left by about 5 meters. Of course, distracted drivers forget about it, and cars kept jumping the curb and driving into the house that's at the turn. The owner got tired of the city's inaction and put a boulder in their front yard. Now cars still occasionally keep going straight, but at least the house no longer gets hit.

My not-so-funny story is: about a decade or so ago I had an Xbox with a blu-ray drive. I wanted to watch one of my discs on it, but couldn't because the Microsoft DRM servers were down.

The end.

Physical media without DRM is better than streaming.

The surprising part is that the TSA actually managed to find something.
