Madagascar. $63/month for 100mb/s down, ~35mb/s up. Pretty good for a third world country.

Well yes, at least that's how we do it in my third world country. You get used to it easily, and there are no distraction when you work.

Money is the gateway to "fun" for me. Working enough to afford the stuff I like and never so much so that I can't spend that money. Find the right balance. And if your job/company makes you miserable, hire someone else t

Anything for apprentice? Would even take a customer support role. I'm a 30 dude from a third world country making a career switch and learning how to code.

I totally agree with you, but you have to provide something attractive for the people you want to hire. You mentioned FAANG, and you know why they get so much attention? They pay 40% above market rate. If you can't attract people with

So, assuming I can get Schengen Visa from another country, is the process easier? I want to immigrate and Norway, Sweden, Finland are my top 3 destination. The thing is, getting visa there is harder. But if getting a Schengen visa would hel

Are looking for local dev/designers only? Remote first is the hot thing right now, so maybe that would help as it would be more attractive. PS: I'm a 30 year old dude from a 3rd world country learning how to code. I'm not goo

I thought about this a lot, but is there really value in it? It's a huge time commitment, working on this kind of stuff is a lot of work. So if the return is low I better just use that time to study.

Thanks, I'll definitely take you up on that, later this week, probably when my profile is ready. Can we have a chat? I see you're from Sweden and it's in my top 3 for immigration goal. You can literally say no if you don&#x27
