There are so many things that we can learn, and so many resources that we can choose to learn from that it makes it really challenging to choose the right resources that can help us get better jobs, or improve our careers in general. Udacity offers many nano-degrees that we can use to level up our careers with courses that are organized and prepared to help us progress from a beginner level to a more advanced one with quality content. Students who manage to finish the projects get the degree and are guaranteed to get a job related to the degree. If you cannot afford paying for these nanodegrees, fortunately, you can still attend many of the courses that belong to these nanodegrees, without having to pay anything.

User roles are definitions of what users can do while using your applications. For example, when you are developing a marketplace for renting cars, you may need at least two user roles: hosts, who provide their cars, and users, who rent cars. Both of these user types will have different functions that they have at their disposal. Rolify is a Ruby gem that allows you to easily add and manage user roles in your application.
It can be integrated with other Ruby gems that you may need like authentication gems (devise, Authlogic, Clearance) and authorization gems that don’t provide role classes (CanCanCan, authority, Pundit).
You can install it as any other Ruby gem, and fortunately, it comes with a great README walk-through of the setup procedure and usage that you can follow along.
As it is an open source project, you can view its source code, learn how it’s built and also become a contributor to it.

There are just too many things that we can do right now. It is up to us to decide which things need our immediate attention, and how we can discard everything else from our attention. At least for the time being, as it is just more productive and better for our own sanity. It is physically impossible for us to be on New York and in Singapore at the same time. We all know and full-heartedly admit that. Still, when it comes to our goals, and the things that we want in life, we simply tend to forget exactly that, or at least are not aware that we are even doing that.
