But, for the sake of truth:
- AirBnB migrated from Rails to a micro-services architecture (which I think, they regretted doing too early - I read that somewhere I believe)
- Stripe never used Rails: they use Ruby (and Sinatra for the Web part - i.e. dashboard).
But it's true that Github and Shopify both use and scaled Rails monoliths. There are showing the way :)
Small suggestion: it would be great to get some information about the picture (location, context, people) in addition to the year, after we tried to guess the date.
No install. Only web technology.
Easy multi-player
Possibility to do Massive Multiplayer (100s) or just 2 or 3
Either blitz game (couple of hours max) or persistent
Less than half baked, Kong (temp name) is the Goodread for movies.
During lockdown, I decided to watch more movies, including classics. I noticed my friends were doing the same and I wanted to know what they were watching, and which film they were interested in...
I don't know your citizenship. But if you are from an eligible country (france, UK, Germany...) you are still eligible for a Working Holiday visa. It's a 1 year visa, quite easy to get.
Unfortunately, the US citizens are not allowed to obtain this visa.
I lived in Tokyo for a year, and it's actually quite easy to get a job as a computer engineer there. Several of my friend came with a tourist visa (or Working Holiday visa) and managed to get a visa sponsorship from companies who wanted to hire them.
I'm not saying it's super easy, but it is doable.
And believe me, there is a shortage of web / mobile engineer in Tokyo.
Finally, don't worry too much about the gap year. Just go there and you'll find something. Go to events and meetups and you ll find plenty of people to talk to. You'll find a lot of opportunities that way.
A danish director made a film on the topic: he follows a Rent-A-Friend business boss who hides what he is doing for a living to his own family

Honestly, rent a house in the countryside, a remote place, but with fiber broadband. That's the perfect setup.
Go in France countryside, like in the middle of the country (but i guess any country side in any country will do). No distraction. Perfect.
You're right. I should have edited my comment properly. I sincerely apologize. My point was to indicate that they are non startup companies, privately held, that are wayyy more valuable than SpaceX or Uber.
Sorry about this.
Yes. It is.
But Safecast highlights the fact that we don't know if it's rising. Cause Tepco just measured something that has never been measured before.
Yes. It really is a great project.

I do hear you, buddy.
I'm french, and I do say "Astronaut" when I speaking about space. I'm just stating that in newspaper (not always), they say "spationaut".
It's just how it's supposed to be said. But not everyone is following this. And it's ok.
I was just highlighting the fact that there is a different name for people going to space regarding the country they are from. That's all.
But yeah, the american word it has probably won in the popular culture and in the day-to-day language.
Sorry. I didn't want to sound like Mr. know it all.
Actually, the Russian call their space people "Cosmonauts".
"Astronaut" has been chosen by NASA, while the USSR chose "Cosmonaut".
But you're right regarding the chinese. They are not called Taikonaut in their own country. But neither "astronaut".

Check the terminology section.
I just wanted to highligth that only NASA (or English speaker world) call their astronaut "astronaut".
In europe, we call them spationauts. And in russia, they call them "cosmonauts".
they are not "astronauts", but taïkonauts. The chinese term for going into space.
Astronauts are for US.
Cosmonauts for Russians.
and Spationauts for Europeans.
