I use this api, and it doesn't allow you to have a non-world map. it just lets you plot things

There is much that has been done since Lovecraft's work that has vastly improved on the basics, and his writing feel a bit rough to me.

John Dies at the End might be a good read, though keep in mind it is also comedic (so dark comedy), so if you're looking for that serious horror tone then you might want to look elsewhere.

My friends have played a video game called Bloodborne and they claim it's the best cosmic horror story they have seen. Supposedly to really get the story though, you have to either spend a lot of time trying to piece it out by playing it, or just read/watch a synopsis.

The issue is that those in power can seize power from the people without the people knowing as long as there isn't some huge mistake. Once there's a mistake/catastrophe/whatever, those in power come under scrutiny of the public, and changes get made.

So my fear would be that everyone continues on in complacency, and one day we wake up and realize we live in an authoritarian state, where mass catastrophies can occur and no one can do anything about it.

I don't want people to get hurt or die, but I also don't want power to be quietly seized by the few.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make myself available for mentoring over the internet? I'm sure there's many possibilities, but has anyone had actual success with any?

Preferably I could get paid doing it, but if that's not really feasible then I wouldn't mind pro bono.

Find a Slack or IRC channel and hang out there. Example: I spend a lot of time in #FoundationSites, #Symfony, #Aurelia and answers questions there.

What do you suggest for those of us who believe we would be terrible at management? Add to that, I also think I would be miserable doing it.

Find an employer that values career programmers? We have a "Technical Fellow" career path for devs/engineers/architects who want to remain in a technical role beyond the typical "tech lead" or "principle whatever" roles.

I've come to terms that I want to be a developer for as long as possible.

Open your own consulting firm. The people you contract with, generally will not care if you're a 55 year old programmer so long as you can get the job done on time and on budget. Further, as you grow the business, you create your own security, as you can eventually turn yourself into more of a business owner/operator/manager, than only a programmer. This is one of the better ways to beat ageism in tech.
