Wow, that's amazingly low. Especially because I'm guessing most of these transactions are just mixing services. I wonder how much represent actual transfers of wealth between individuals? I would guess less than 1K per day, which

Heroku only has two regions, Europe and US. Many applications not targetting the American market are still hosted on the US region. For instance, I live in Japan, and all the heroku applications I know of are hosted in the US region. Additi

Big companies have big budgets for recruiting, which is why you'll see their ads everywhere. Interesting jobs often rely on referrals. You might try attending some of your local developer events to see what is happening around you. If

The top page of https://www.userapp.io/ looks great. However, it leaves me wondering who your service is actually for. I'm a web developer, so login, sign-up, and user storage are my bread and butter, and I can use ope

Japan isn't any more xenophobic than the US. I've lived seven years in Japan. Even if I were to get Japanese citizenship, I wouldn't identify myself culturally as Japanese (and neither would Japanese think of me as Japanese).

If you don't have a CS degree, it is harder to get a job here, because visas are tied to your career path, and for an engineering visa, you need a related degree or ten years of professional experience. It is possible though to do deve

Haha isn't the normal word for mother, you only use it when talking about your own mother to someone else in a formal setting. Mama has the most casual sound to it. Okaasan (or one of its derivatives) is slightly more formal. Depending on t

Even though I worked at a Japanese company, I didn't work Japanese hours. 10am-7pm were my typical hours. Good developers are in demand everywhere! If you're a developer who has some side-project / open source contribution you can show off,
