Honestly? It's great. As much as living in a tech center has its advantages, I like that once I leave my house the concept of a programmer is foreign to people. I don't have to think about it at all if I don't want to, and it's liberating. I'm also making a significant amount of money due to exchange rates and the fact that my cost of living is so incredibly cheap compared to tech hubs.
