I'd be happy to make it for you for like 27K and you'd save 10%.

I'll do it for $24k. full disclosure: will probably outsource all the work to upwork or toptal Now that I think of it, $24k is a year's salary for the average senior developer here. So I could actually stretch that out quite a lot.

  I was looking at different salaries by profession in a third world country (thinking may end up there someday). It's interesting how software is not a high paying role there. I'm thinking it's demand but yeah. So if you were to "make it big" there I think you would need money coming in from other countries over the internet which hey, Starlink maybe.

    Depends on which countries. $25k salary here is double of, say, a really good accountant or a senior civil engineer. Taxes are much lower too. Countries with no unicorns generally pay a lot lower, but there's more potential to do a startup. Everyone in the world deals with taxes, payrolls, and resells cars, but sometimes there's no localized software for that. Companies with corruption have far more financial restrictions and often global companies are reluctant to enter.

    Where does starlink come into play? Do these countries you speak of just not have internet?

      The internet there is not great. I will say I don't know how good Starlink's internet is but the idea of like being on a random island/boat and having internet... that's pretty nice. It sounds like a dumb dream as I'm afraid to travel but it's a bridge I will cross at some point. Have blood-families there though they're practically strangers to me as I haven't had contact with them for almost 20 years. My father (why I exist) was an expat/had kids with random women but he had money in a poor country. I wouldn't feel safe being in that situation (as a yes man). Somehow the dude had a 60' sailing yacht and was just bumming around hong kong/nearby islands. He was in the wars (flew Hueys in Vietnam for ex.) but he did run a diving/tour kind of deal with this boat/was a street smart guy. In the end his life decisions caught up to him (taken out by strokes) under 60. I think about it because I have a fear of going there and not being able to return to the US for whatever reason. I like living in a developed place but that area is also a paradise you know cliche blue water/tropics. Alternative is own a small piece of land somewhere in the US/do stuff, live a regular life. I also can just completely shut that side of my life off and live here but as I question if altruism is a thing, I've been supporting them for the last two years. Feels like a drag but they literally live on dirt/I got a well installed in their village. Anyway... I will be CTO of this thing taking a new direction, hopefully it becomes something. Will check back in 3 months ha, gotta finish my last month at my current job before I lose 50% of my income and health insurance, oh well. I haven't been to a doctor in years so a gap is not a huge concern, will figure it out. At least I have ownership of this thing/a co inventor. Sorry for the unrelated rambling.
