Miscellaneous recommendations

As a final note, the following are various recommendations on how to use ReactiveX and avoid some more traps.

A lettable function is a function that takes an observable as input (with additional arguments if needed), and returns an observable. Such a function can be used as a custom operator with the let operator.
