Make better software that solves problems. It doesn’t have to be new, just cheaper, faster, or a better UX. Offer your services to a local small business that is running on Excel spreadsheets and duct tape. Provide paid support for an open source project that you help maintain and develop. There are tons of opportunities outside Silicon Valley.
