If not for for the crazy COL, I would probably be in the Bay Area. Instead I'm in Florida, which I love (near the beach and affordable housing), but there isn't a whole lot of interesting work out here, just aerospace/defense stuff.
I'm working on a little side project (a SaaS - there's a link in my profile), started as more of a creative outlet, but it would be cool if it turned into a second income stream for me. One obstacle is a complete lack of any sort of dev/tech culture around here, much less a 'startup' scene.
- godot 9y agoWhat exactly makes a complete lack of any sort of dev/tech culture around where you live, an obstacle? Wouldn't you do most of your marketing online?
- jcadam 9y agoYes, while most of my marketing would be online, there's definitely a dearth of potential local customers. Other factors: Finding potential co-founders (I've met very few software engineers around here I would consider good enough, and I haven't met a single person who knows anything about bizdev and/or sales for a B2B SaaS), and of course no possibility of getting any funding around here (not that I'm wasting any energy thinking about it as noone would invest in a 37-year old first-timer in any case :) )
