This sounds like the beginning of a great startup. I know a couple people on Indiehackers were trying to put something like this together a few months back: trips to co-work together around the world. Not sure if anything ever came of it, b

I don't know if either fit you "simple" definition, but NomadList and RemoteOk (both built and run by Pieter Levels) are the first to come to my mind. Neither one is a static blog but both started VERY simply: NomadList was a

I'm not sure if you have, but I'd suggest listening to Pieter Levels and Courtland Allen on youtube. They each have several talks where they discuss this sort of thing. Pieter Levels actually walks through his process of identifyi

And I want to be perfectly clear: I do not in any way have the thought that anyone making minimum wage is "lazy/violent/oversexed etc". I don't think we need to "be protected from" minimum wage earners. As

True, but this occured 3 months ago. 3 months is hardly the long term I was referring to. Also, isn't Seattle one of the more expensive cities to live in? If cost of living sites are to be believed, it is 50-70% higher cost of living t

It might be a popular opinion because I make more than this and have increased my earnings over the years from $2.90 per hour to what I earn today, BUT why does anyone think the MINIMUM wage should be this high? DO the same people expect to

There are a lot of good advice in the comments. I will just add for a great "build a startup to generate enough income to live on" model, I'd listen to Pieter Levels talks on YouTube and his first appearance on the Indie Hack

For me, someone who wanted to build a NES Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy clone back in the early 90's and had no idea how games were even made, let alone owned a computer, the idea today that I can show my kids they can build a game w

FIngers are crossed, prayers have been sent, hope is at an all time high. 25 years is a long time to have been waiting.

I had forgotten how weirdly addictive this show was. (kids have long outgrown it)

Although it's interesting how the author breaks this down, I didn't think it was necessarily unknown that phone key tones could be used to make basic melodies. When i get stuck in a freezer, I know that I can hack my phone (or a p

I'd say maybe remoteok.com but it focuses sole on remote jobs. I know Pietr Levels was looking for a way to add features that would draw SO users to RemoteOk when he learned SO job board was shutting down. Might be worth a look.

This is a really good idea.

I'm not sure if my household is immune to potato poisoning or if you need an insane amount of bad potatoes to be affected, but I sadly feed my family month old potatoes quite often. I do peel them (as I do 90% of the time when I make a

This is probably the best advice for the OP I've read here.

"I don't even know if this is something people would want or pay for if I completed it." This is the problem. As I was reading your situation, before I got to this point, I was asking myself "Is there a market for this?&

She would. But as the husband and after saying "i'll get to it", it really is my job and I need to get off my ass to do it. My wife does so much for the household and is a very patient person, by the time she does get pissed

Love this. I make it on the stove top, but Scottish porridge is delicious.

Wouldn't it have more to do with the company or national policy and less to do with wealth situation?

It varies between a fruit and yogurt smoothie, homemade pancakes/french toast/waffles with bacon or sausage and some fruit/berries, croissant with jam or nutella, REAL porridge (not that instant oatmeal in a paper packet garb

What are you trying to research? If you have the idea already, are you trying to find out if it exists already? Are you trying to find potential customers? This is very vague.

This is what I came here to say. I don't have "decades" under my belt but after a long time as a developer, I have ALWAYS felt like the company I am working for is going to one day tap me on my shoulder and say I don't b

Yes having a dog was beneficial. I'm not sure I can put "benefits" into words, but having my dog was awesome. Until I had to get rid of him after 6 years. It was like losing a child or best friend and was solely my fault be

Not sure what type of coding, but if it is Web Dev, I know there are a lot of excellent instructors on YouTube that would love 100k dedicated students. Brad Traversy is a great teacher, really good at instruction and explaining his code and

TL;DR: check out Brad Traversy's youtube video tutorials. It depends on what you want to code. I am going to assume web development and building some variant of websites and web apps since it my wheelhouse and there are a lot of jobs o
