This will be great for Kenya and other countries like it.
A really bad problem in these countries is their best in brightest are too busy doing service jobs for Westerners than doing the work in manufacturing and infrastructure that builds their capital base.
- mrleinad 3y agoThey take those jobs for westerners because their local companies pay them shit in comparison. So this is going to make them poorer and cut an income source for the country as well.
- nivenkos 3y agoBut that in turn creates political and economic pressure to improve the situation.

- nmz 3y agoThat already existed in the first place. Poor countries are not poor by choice. And removing avenues of financial support (and an import at that) is not a net positive.
- carlosjobim 3y agoMaybe some of them start their own companies? "Income source for the country"? Having your brightest employed in foreign ventures is a great loss for the country.
- Riverheart 3y agoPer the comment below some have companies formed around this work. Also, as long as they are spending that income locally they’re still bringing wealth to their country which is a good thing. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35654707 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35654707
- jedberg 3y agoActually it's great for the country if the income is coming back home.
- nmz 3y agoI hope you say that when your job gets replaced.
- boruto 3y agoNot exactly sure it's great for kenya. I made good pocket money, better than my 8 hour internship solving CS assignments. That was not a career but good pocket money. I would just sit idle if I were not solving assignments.
