Traveling slowly for almost two years. I tried staying at least a week in each place and at least a month in each country. Stayed in some places like Peru for longer (9 months total).

We offer prescription-grade genetic testing and are aiming to make genetics a part of mainstream, medical practice. This year we're transitioning from seeing ourselves as a diagnostics company to seeing ourselves as a tech company and are hiring for a variety of roles:
We have several different groups that use a variety of languages and technologies. React, AWS, and Python are some of the popular ones. We have a great, dynamic culture where employees have ownership and are empowered to make decisions (very little middle management).

I love that style. Does anyone know if there's anything similar for React/Redux? An alternative to using large boilerplates and having to customize it ...
I completely agree. If you use Instacart for cooking, even one substitution could make you have to go to the store again. And I find that a lot of Instacart shoppers have very little intuition/common sense about what are sensible substitutions.
I tried out Express because I would gladly pay the subscription fee if it worked. I ordered from Target a couple of times and the second time about a quarter of my order was substituted. And I go to Target enough to believe that most of these items were there. The shopper just didn't know where to look. In fact, I could see in real time that this shopper wasn't qualified. I wish there was a button that would've allowed me to abort and get a new shopper.
I can't imagine having to deal with this if I were preparing a recipe.
I feel like Food Delivery is a place where competition may actually have driven up prices for the consumers. I was gone from SF for two years and when I came back to the same neighborhood, I felt that food delivery became more expensive because of DoorDash, etc.
Places that used to not charge delivery fees now do, maybe because now they realized they could? Or because they have to compete for delivery people. Also, some apps now charge a 20% default tip. It is not rare to get three types of fees on top on one delivery order, even for something simple as a burrito.
I think one potential of Latin America is the time zone lines up better with North America. This might not matter, depending on what kind of business you're doing.
I am very hesitant about visiting visiting Brazil especially since it would cost me $$ as an American (yes, I understand it's reciprocal).
However, I don't think it's fair to lump all of Latin America together. I found living in Peru for 9 months safe, and I travelled all over the country. I also visited Bolivia and Colombia but less extensively. In fact, most of these places felt safer than SF after you know the lay of the land.
While it's easy to get frustrated especially if you are following each twist and turn that js takes, I think if you step back a little, you can see things are getting better as a whole.
For the longest time, js was just a thing I did on weekend or as part of tertiary projects at work. I first used js as a kid for my geocities page, used jquery and YUI for a work projects starting about eight years ago, experimented with Angular, and most recently embraced React and es6.
Almost two years ago, I quit my job and started building a side project in React and Fluxxor for fun. At this point there were a bunch of Flux implementations and no dominant library had emerged. I got frustrated with the build process and then got distracted with other life experiences.
I returned to javascript less than a year later and was amazed at how much better things got. I could do npm install and npm start and there was a good chance things would actually work. I was doing the same google searches but noticed that the documentation was a lot better. I also had a friend this time around and he steered me toward Redux and es6. Javascript suddenly became an enjoyable language for me enough that I plan to focus on it. This is after more than close to twenty years of fits and starts.
Great minds think alike! My friend and I built a similar web app for learning Spanish conjugations: http://practicarapp.herokuapp.com/. I found that it was a perfectly-sized project for learning React/Redux.
