How a Programmer Gets By On $16K/Yr: He Moves to Malaysia
An anonymous reader writes "If you can make $10 and hour doing remote work, you can afford to live in Malysia. Make it $15 or $20, you can work 30 hours a week. Real money? Make it ten. This article talks about how John Hunter did it." Malaysia's not the only destination for self-motivated ex-pat programmers, of course. If you've considered doing this kind of sabbatical, or actually have, please explain in the comments the from-where-to-where details and reasons.
Who the hell works more than 30 hours per week anyway?
No link in the summary, no link after the fold. Really?
You need an excuse not to RTFA?
John McAfee 'It was like that time I hired that Bangkok prostitute; to do my taxes, while I fucked my accountant'
How did it get to the front page without the link?
I don't know what website you think you're on, but this is Slashdot.
Better known as 318230.
Link removed.
Top form, timothy.
Do you see what I did there?
Has /. evolved to a point where there is no A to RTF?
An A has vanished from "Malysia" too. Open season, I guess.
The major caveat to working in Malaysia of course, is that you are in Malaysia.
In the 90's I made good money programming for $9 per hour while living in a culvert.
I just had to make sure I 'Looked' like I had showered (or something), for meetings.
Now, I'm middle aged and have a much larger culvert with some boards to keep
my stuff off the water when it floods.
Good times.....
