As a full-time remote developer I looked at some co-working spaces here in Richmond, VA. I can work at home just fine, but I miss seeing and talking to people. While I could afford the $250 a month.

What's the tech scene like in Richmond? I'm curious because I got an offer from Capital One at the Richmond location, but I'm worried that there aren't many other companies in the area. I've never worked outside of large cities.

Not very good, that (Capital One) is legitimately the only place worthwhile that reached out to me, but they require a 4 year degree. With that said, Northern Virginia and the DC area is just 1.5 hours away. So not much of a move and plenty tech there.

How did you bootstrap the process of working alone? Did you start working on the side while having a non-remote job?

Tried to build a startup, failed, recovered by doing consulting work.

Now I want to try the same.
