If you are craving a more penetrating discourse on how technology is affecting the modern mating game. I'd give a listen to this enlightening interview noted couples therapist Esther Perel gave on a recent episode of Fresh Air with Terry Gross. She makes the point that due to social media, etc. there is now what amounts to a paper trail for our assignations. And a mere "like" is enough to constitute a form of cheating ;)
As Marriage Standards Change, A Therapist Recommends 'Rethinking Infidelity'

While it may be impossible to empirically quantify if humans are enjoying less intimacy than a generation ago. I do see a danger that the erotic sphere is becoming abstracted away from its powerful roots by modern alienation. To get that mojo back, is to return to more ritualistic practices. Perhaps inspired by ancient rites of fertility common to all cultures. Akin to the way farm-to-table and slow food movements can cure one of the malaise that arises from prolonged daily exposure to Seamless dinners without any connection to Nature.
But then again, my cure for almost any modern ailment tends to be to look to the ancients!

Congrats on launching, Zach! Wondering if massively mutltiplayer CLI games are the Next Big Thing for procrastinating programmers? Instead of something that requires 30 fps rendition, however, it may be prudent to start with an HQ Trivia style multiple choice live game show ;)

Not bad $300 retail. Looks like a great way to get into microtuning and atonal scales for electronic music as well ;)

High Performance Browser Networking by Ilya Grigorik is a canonical resource. Lots of deep historical and technical background on WebRTC. As well as WebSockets, HTTP/2, TLS, UDP, TCP, and much more.
Then for a practical example, try this Codelab on Real time communication with WebRTC:
https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/webrtc-web/#...
Once you are ready to build your own prototype. You can check out existing implementations from PeerJS, SimpleWebRTC, SIP.js, and Twilio.
Although it is relatively easy to invent your own. Dedicated third party cloud providers such as Twilio are quite mature. Best of luck!

Also. This past year to date has evinced all time historical low volatility in major currency crosses. Difficult to make the case based on sheer volume that fiat is being abandoned for crypto. But players hunting for alpha tend to go where the action is:

I think the main differentiator is Firebase integration. Especially registering with Analytics events such as Auth. But yeah obvs you trade convenience for vendor lockin ;)
Here is a Codelab to get you started and I believe you'll see how it can reduce your development time dramatically...

Have definitely noticed an explosion of Learn Assembly / Low Level Hacking genre video games coming out. And can definitely see how this will soon become a part of "Computation Structures" courses. Even at the secondary school level. Keep it up!
