I hope you get lots of high quality inquiries! This is interesting but not at this particular point in my life.

Since my wife is from Panama (I am Australian) I have long considered doing something like this. That part of Panama Chiriquí is particularly pretty and the climate is indeed fantastic.

In light of the AABill and the NBN perhaps I should consider it more.

I have a good friend who lives right down the road and is also Australian, works for Microsoft research

Assuming I could get a job there I probably would seriously consider moving. The getting something is the main issue for me sadly.

Remote work! Codementor, Toptal, Upwork, etc. A programming job in Panama pays like a few thousand a month at best.

I think I would be better off selling small things like books and training courses to be honest. Assuming I could get several hundred a month it would cover my expenses long enough till I could ramp that up.
