This is one of my recent post. Based on my experience, I have tried to outline challenges a learner faces through out their journey to mastery. Looking forward for inputs. Thanks.
You are right. And I apologized in my comment. It is simply the desperation to help the friend that's all. For me it was worth a shot for even tiny help to get closer to the goal.
I also like the hacker news community, who help not to let spamming go around. I would have asked the same question which you have if I were you.
I know that its not the platform for thins like this. It's just the desperation that is making me do this. I apologies for it in advance.
But if anyone sees this and can help a little, it can save a life.
Since you are concerned about revealing what you have in your mind, it would be preferable to talk to someone in you network directly. Because without any proper spec, giving direction might take to entirely other path which might not take to your goal.
