How a Programmer Gets By On $16K/Yr: He Moves to Malaysia 523
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.

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.

Ok let's test you theory:
Nicely done. Your rigorous analysis sure proved him wrong.
It takes skill, hard work, ruthless ambition and extreme good luck to get rich and stay there.
Is it okay if we use your method on your own theory?

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.....
