Huh, what is it about that place that makes it possible?

  Well, it's a small place. You hardly spend any time commuting. Work hours are 0800-1630 with an hour lunch which leaves you with plenty of time to do other activities. Work culture is quite relaxed, no rushing as long as projects get done. Internet is decent enough that you can work remotely, if thats your thing. 1,5 hour flight to the continent. Downside is that software engineering is not really a thing, so you really need to make an effort to get a job, but once you're in you will have no serious concerns like those you mention... additionally there is a lot of potential for meaningful work, or plenty of avenues to help the community with your talent. It's not perfect,not at all... but it's a much simpler lifestyle, much more quiet... seems like the opposite of a life in any large city, alas you will unlikely every be on 100k
