Thx. I recommend anyone to try remote, even for less money. It's just so good. Sometimes it feels like I'm not working at all, because I spread out the work throughout the day and also through weekends.

how does it work really?
>client: you have X days to implement this feature
like this ?
It really depends on the company, and how you organize your work. Whether you contract as pretty much full time "employee" or just contracting for specific tasks.
I do both, but most of my work is the full time thing. I'm a sysadmin/devops for a company where all employees are scattered throughout the world. We communicate using a chat, github issues, mail, calendar events, so on.
In general it is task oriented for developers. Devs get assigned tasks by project managers and work on them. For me it's kinda different since I'm pretty much the head and only employee of the infrastructure team, so I decide my own priorities and what needs to be done and how.
Of course my priority is getting shit out of the way of developers so they can focus on their work, but at least half of what I do is tinkering with our infra and building new things. It's surprising how many different things a medium sized company like that needs. I might eventually ask for someone to help me as we grow. That person would probably get a similar setup, "full time" contract and I'd just give them tasks to do, monitor progress and mentor them.
I guess independence is nice, but I do miss teaching and mentoring.
thanks for the reply.

Just to finish. I think starting out by doing smaller contracts for specific tasks for companies is a good way to get acquainted with remote work. Those usually would include a time limit. And if you show a company that you can deliver a feature in good time and with high quality of finish they might offer you a "full time" kind of contract.
The time limits on tasks are kind of a hand-wavy thing in software devleopment. Often you find that a task that was ranked as a 1 day work turns into a 2 week nightmare. Contracts usually have clauses for that.
>Are the problems you have to solve challenging?
I'd say so, considering that almost every week I'm learning a new technology.
>what technologies/stack do you work with?
A shitload of them. Just this past 2 weeks I:
- Optimized an IPFS cluster
- Deployed a self-hosted BitWarden with backups
- Configured a site for Go vanity imports
- Configured a bunch of security http headers through CloudFlare workers(very neat)
- Deployed a whole app from scratch on an autoscalable ElasticBeanstalk env with a MongoDB cluster(never used either)
- Diagnosed issues obscure p2p software written in Go
- Automated deployments of a site built with Hexo
- Fixed iOS application signing setup(FUCK APPLE)
It changes from day to day almost.
very nice

Costs of living is quite high here though compared to the US (not counting huge cities) so I guess it'd be comparable to a 50k wage over there? Though I save most of what I earn so still pretty good for me.

I'm a Serpent Superior
I gave up on life, I'm a recluse who spends all my time shitposting on Jow Forums in this mongrel dystopic society. I can't help but to feel like a failure seeing people succeed all around me. At least I still have my soul, that's more than what some "successful" people can say. Some say that is christfag cope but w/e. I've almost come to terms with the fact that in life some people are winners and some people are losers, usually by being born into it, e.g. chads richfags born into rich families ect. I hope I find a beautiful girl who loves me for who I am. I hope something comes my way soon, my mom is older and wont be around forever.
