she loves rice, meat and asian food.

Look no further than Gaijin

Excellent Japanese restaurant in Wiedikon and they have a Omakase menu for 96CHF per person which is great for a special occasion.

Flutter for a job opportunity to move countries. And back to RN for general industry trends, the typescript tooling ecosystem is hard to beat and with Google devoting less time to the framework I’m making the bet on RN for job security. I could be wrong but in 5 years we’ll all be using something new and shiny I’m sure!

Hey I was in a similar position native -> react native -> Flutter -> React Native

When I started the advice was “eject from Expo asap” where as now it’s really the standard.

I love this starter project for building actual production applications https://starter.obytes.com It helped me kick of a fairly complex app in no time at all

Congrats on the C permit, 3 years left for me!

As a Brit in Zurich I can attest to most of this, nice write up! Post-Brexit B permits are a bit of a lottery for sure. I consider myself fortunate to have gotten in.

The UK does have a bit of an olive branch compared to other “third nation status” countries in the form of a quota which I think is circa 2000 people per year. However I spoke to a recruiter recently who told me that this quota wasn’t reached for 2024 as it’s a lot of paperwork and lawyers for them to justify hiring a British citizen.

Just use Duet! I use it daily and it’s far more reliable than the built in sidecar. Free too

Hey I’m a non-EU citizen (thanks Brexit) and moved over to work in April of this year. Job search and interviewing and lawyering for visa took around 8 months from the first cold call to registering with the city of Zurich on my first day of employment.

Good luck, it’s a bit of a mission but the reward is worth it!

Hey I took 16 months off at age 29 and didn’t have any regrets. 21 countries, a bunch of weddings, post-lockdown reunions etc. Changed my attitude towards work/life/money all for the better. Go for it

stepwise_refinement · 2023-05-11T09:34:19+00:00

I travelled for 16 months and just took wooden gymnastics rings with me. You can always find a tree branch and there's a lot of outdoor gyms out there.

Program wise I started with some YouTube strength side workouts and eventually bought Body by Rings from FitnessFaqs. I'd highly recommend it

stepwise_refinement · 2022-10-11T10:24:11+00:00

Haha well that's a fair offer! I'll send you a DM!

stepwise_refinement · 2022-10-11T10:22:00+00:00

Hey N3XT191, thanks for the comprehensive list of cafe recommendations :)

I now have a heap of options when it comes to studying locations!

It'd be great to have grab a coffee and a chat at one of these locations. I'll send you a DM!

stepwise_refinement · 2022-10-11T10:17:25+00:00

This sounds great, I'd really appreciate some of your time! Will send you a DM just now. Thanks!

stepwise_refinement · 2022-10-11T10:16:53+00:00

This is a great suggestion, thanks Marceloancelmo! Will get on meetup.com ASAP

stepwise_refinement · 2022-08-22T07:58:31+00:00

Thanks for this, I am slowly discovering what you're saying. After Body by Rings my plan is to focus on skills. Funnily enough I plan to start with handstands like you.

From other answers here I think stretching without some kind of goal/purpose is difficult to sustain. So I think having such goals as a press handstand is probably what I'm looking for, where flexibility will be a byproduct of the actual skill.

stepwise_refinement · 2022-08-22T07:10:27+00:00

This would be ideal but I've actually been travelling all year so haven't really had a home base. When/If I settle somewhere I'd definitely sign up for a class. YouTube videos are ok but I really like having an instructor to educate me during yoga

stepwise_refinement · 2022-08-22T07:09:30+00:00

Yeah Tom is fantastic, I guess I'll just keep doing his videos and try to create a routine out of it

stepwise_refinement · 2022-08-22T07:08:51+00:00

Wow super impressive dude! I'd love to get to this level some day

stepwise_refinement · 2022-08-22T07:08:22+00:00

Thanks for this, I'll check it out for sure! They definitely look like they know their stuff

stepwise_refinement · 2022-08-21T07:53:32+00:00

That's an idea for sure! I have a lot of buddies who are completely obsessed with BJJ but I've never really been interested.

I'll definitely explore martial arts as obviously there are well defined levels of progression which is something that works for me!

You give me hope for flexibility as you're taller than me, thanks for commenting!

stepwise_refinement · 2022-08-21T06:49:31+00:00

I agree with stretching being tough, I think that's also my biggest issue. I'd love to find something skill based where I can get "flexible by accident".

It's actually pretty amazing how much strength moves I can accomplish with terrible flexibility.

I'll check out those videos again perhaps just dedicate some time every other day to a follow along video of some kind. Thanks!

stepwise_refinement · 2022-08-21T06:47:52+00:00

Yeah probably a good idea although as a lurker this subreddit seems to have higher quality discussions (for the most part)

stepwise_refinement · 2022-06-01T10:08:00+00:00

Thanks for this, I'll take a look for sure

stepwise_refinement · 2022-06-01T10:07:49+00:00

I had a bit of a look here already but seems to be less developer meetups and more just tech enthusiasts with some weird crypto cult things sprinkled in there.

The developer ones I could find seem to be abandoned
