Whoa!
For some context, I've spent the last ~2 years doing the digital nomad freelancing lifestyle, and it seemed a) unfair and b) like a really great market opportunity that so many senior 20x-type devs in different parts of the world are stuck outsourcing on crummy gigs while geographically privileged junior (and senior) devs pull down crazy-high rates. The market's not really solving the problem, everybody just seems to operate an outsourcing pipeline and vacuum value out.
I moved back to the States a while ago and got in touch with some friends to set this up - unqualified.io
Obviously it's still very early days : )
- Kalium 12y agoOne of the generally underappreciated things is that there is a great deal of value in geographic proximity. It's not just privilege.
- j4pe 12y agoDefinitely not just privilege. The remote thing doesn't work unless somebody really, really good is doing the alchemy of transforming the client/user's intentions into architecture & design.
- scribu 12y agoI like the idea, but how did you end up calling it "Unqualified"? I don't see the connection.
