Being a digital nomad has made me incredibly optimistic about life. Now I can live anywhere without being tied down by a job. Don't like how the world works? Join (or start) a village of like-minded folks somewhere else. Money, talent, culture and community will no longer be concentrated in unaffordable cities, held hostage by location. And as a result, everyone will be better off, not just programmers.
