And this my friends is why I live in San Diego! I really do think tech will take off in this area soon. Its (relatively for CA) on the cheaper side for housing and great for remote work.

So I decided to try something new: I hired a contractor on Upwork who had experience with map visualizations. They built an MVP within a few weeks, an…
