I've recently vibe-coded "where-am-i", a small CLI that returns your approximate location using the technology described here. https://github.com/denysvitali/where-am-i Tbh, I think this geolocation method is amazing, and I'm grateful it exists, because GPS indoor really sucks.
Honest question - what's your use case for needing GPS indoors? I generally know where I am when I'm indoors :)

Everyone's heard of Theranos, Enron, Martin Shkreli, and Bernie Madoff. This week, my 70+ year old aunt asked me about Charlie Javice and Frank. Yet, there are thousands of very successful people quietly building their castles who live and die in relative obscurity because their stories just aren't that thrilling.
If you spend a lot of time interacting with people in the latter category, or if you have them as your mentors, then you will be exposed to a model of what success through hard work and integrity looks like. If you don't, then it's very easy to think everyone successful is a cheater, and that cheating is the only way to break the ceiling into success.
