Thank you so much!

Ahah, thank you! Cabal is a great word.

Status UPD:

I'm sorry for this experience, but we just can't add all locations right now :(

We were adding the locations to the map manually. After the app went viral, we got over 600 new places over 24 hours, so we can't handle it this way anymore. We are working on automating this process, and as soon as we'll figure it out, we are going to add all the locations, including yours, to the map.

Thank you for your contribution! It means a lot to us. Please, don't worry, we will add your submissions as soon as we can.

Sorry, it's not open sourced (at least yet), but I was using React and Mapbox to implement it.

You can see an example in pure javascript here:

And how to build a similar app here:

Thank you! We are working on that!

There is an organisation 80000hours.org devoted to discovering careers related to future high-impact areas, it has a list of perspective career paths and reviews on them, including the obvious ones, like Machine Learning PhD, and not so obvious, like China specialist.

You can spend more on local services instead

It's ok to feel like that, totally. And it's not easy to become your own boss, you have to learn how to manage yourself and that will take time. You also need to change your expectations for rewards: you are no longer working for salary, you are working for profit now, which means that you have a different feedback loop now. As soon as you get used to this new feedback loop, you will be more comfortable with you new role.

I'd recommend to get some confidence with Ruby before moving to Rails. It's better to spend 2-3 months learning Ruby and then focus on learning Rails, than struggle with both right from the start.

When people say that you can learn only basics of Ruby in few days and then move to Rails, they are right, you can, but this way you will learn two things in parallel, and it's pretty exhausting. So this doubtfully will save you any time.

I'm doing an assessment using this model every half a year, helps me to realize how better or worse off I'm comparing to the past.

"Let's build sites that don't require AMP."

Transforming implicit mental models into explicit is the most important step in learning for me. And it's only possible to understand whether I had done it right when I try to apply them in practice.

No, when I work I need silence :)

Lisp, Ruby and functional JS

I'm just talking to my entrepreneur friends about my projects.

My favorite limiting belief is that about our limited willpower. While it's kinda true, studies show that people who believe that willpower is unlimited perform better, than those people who believe in limited willpower. IMO, it's a perfect demonstration of how the limiting beliefs work.

I totally understand your frustration. I was happy to met a wonderful mentor in the early days of my career. I was expecting to hear mainly technical stuff, but instead he was talking about soft skills, empathy, lifestyle, communications and so on. Only few months later I've realized how actually important was all that stuff for my career.

So that's what I would recommend to you: find a good mentor who looks beyond hard skills. It's hard, but look for a fellow who is happy about their career :D.

Another thing I would highly recommend is to find an accountability partner or join a mastermind group. Those can be your peers who are interested in meeting from time to time and talk about career-related topics. You can discuss your goals and progress, work-related problems, and keep each other accountable. That helps a lot in actually making progress more than anything else.

Hope this is helpful. If you want to talk more about all these things, I'm always open to chat.

Yes, it feels imperfect, but I get used to it.

I'd try Racket (Scheme family) or ReasonML.
