I work remotely and find it very hard to believe you can go "anywhere anytime".
Personal still take leave to go traveling, the infrastructure in most places on Earth is virtually nonexistent. There's a reason you won't find any digital nomads working from beautiful Pacific islands.
- Fomite 8y agoYeah, the infrastructure most places isn't there. I remember recently a HN thread on why one would need a powerful laptop for work, when you should just SSH into a server... Then I recounted my experience trying to do that from a decent hotel in Lusaka.
- eaenki 8y agoWeird. I travel quite often. More often than not in remote places. In my experience there's ALWAYS an airbnb/resort/hotel that has WIFI satellite. Also, coding/designing/answering emails very rarely requires a fast internet connection. Some anecdotal examples: Galapagos, Socotra, Lofoten, Sacred Valley, Island of the Sun, Patagonia and Atacama's desert.
