    Aspiring to become a Digital Nomad?

    I was a digital nomad as a web developer for three years. Covering my cost of living required less than half an hour of work per day. I was charging my clients by western standards but only had to pay Southeast-Asian costs. It's actually a great way to save up money. Most DN live in a bubble...

    How to deal with developer?

    In the beginning you need to go through a couple of developers to find out what makes a good one. On the tool side: Jira is as good as it gets for organising development tasks.

    Estonian e-Residency

    Jup, the European countries are closely linked in that regard. That's fine with me though, I'm not doing this to get around taxes. The aim is to avoid the hassle (and cost!) of registering and running a company in Germany. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out! They have a list of "people on...

    Estonian e-Residency

    I live in a country that is technologically a decade behind the rest of the world and suffers from a bureaucracy that makes a Hieronymus Bosch painting look like rainbows and unicorns (Germany). When I first entertained the thought of starting my own SaaS business, I researched the...

    Finding solutions to problems?

    Start with the end in mind. What is your desired outcome, the final achievement? Once you have that, work backwards from it to find out what needs to be done. Works wonders if "planning from now on forwards" doesn't do the job. Great read on the topic: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People...

    The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

    BOOKS 
    It's a good book, I took a lot away from it.

    Am I Killing it Off?

    Your schedule looks like you are treating yourself like a machine, not a human. I would make it a high priority to ensure your own wellbeing. You focus solely on the quantity of hours, but the quality is also very important. Personally I can get as much done in one productive and well rested...

    Nominations/Vote: Book Discussion (New Poll Posted!)

    BOOKS 
    If anything, I'd call it a book that shines light on a screwed up world. Machiavelli describes the patterns of power. You can strive to implement them, or you can use the book to discover these patterns in the world all around you.

    Ask Me Anything About SaaS ( I'm building my 7th )

    GOLD! HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    In regards to fraud reduction you write: Could you elaborate on that one a bit? Do you really log every single http request? Do you have a comparison to what other SaaS providers log (more/less)? Do you have a use for the logged data other than fraud reduction? E.g. marketing?

    Countries to live in to optimize your costs

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    This is a good reference for numbers: Nomad List From my experience in Thailand: personal and business safety: if you have a business with a store front, you have to bribe the cops good infrastructure: Bangkok is very good, Chiang Mai is... entertaining favorable taxes: can't say, never paid...

    Upwork: Conflict of Interest?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    You could also ask your employer to change the contract, i.e. allow you to do some business on the side. Given that you work in IT, your position for negotiations is likely to be strong. They might rather loose 10% of you than the whole.

    Can't Hurt Me: by David Goggins, Review and Discussion

    HOT! 
    My Rating: 2 stars out of 5 stars :star::star::xx::xx::xx: Format: epub My thoughts/review: It's an entertaining read, but 70+ pages into the book (where I stopped), I hadn't taken a single note. There was nothing for me to take away, nothing I wanted to put into action. In comparison: That far...

    Recommendation For Coding/Wordpress Forums

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Not answering the initial question, BUT: It seems you are spending many hours on this. Would it not be much more economical to have somebody else fix this for you? Takes an experienced developer two hours or less and costs you €150 or less.

    How to be happy and fulfilled

    MINDSET 
    That strikes me as the core issue. You will have a very hard time finding out who you are, if you remain in your current environment. It might sound very daunting, but leaving for a longer period (6-12 months) is your best shot at finding out who you are outside of your common constraints...
