Programmers already have global mobility with the ability to work remotely. That article uses examples of Doctors and Football players, professions which can't be done remotely (though tech is also enabling doctors to head in this direction.)
- mallipeddi 16y agoBeing remote might work but there are lots of Bay Area startups which won't let you work remotely - the only option is to move to USA but then there's the H-1B hell; so they just won't hire any foreigners. Even Google, Y! and other big companies don't normally let you work remotely. There are of course some exceptions (superstar programmers like Lars Bak can usually do whatever they want because well they're superstars).
- travem 16y agoI hadn't thought of it that way actually. Being remote poses its own challenges though.
