I started in January 2023, here are the resources I use: https://github.com/woadray/bootcamp

What resources are you using?

> the world just seems to get markedly worse?

The world is significantly better than the year before cause the world is not just USA. Imagine being gay even 20 years from now. Imagine being black during slavery. Imagine being a woman in the 50s. Imagine having your country colonized. Imagine dying of polio before the vaccines... This is endless. Things are still broken, but we human as a whole still improve.

I'm doing this https://sp21.datastructur.es/ + leetcode.

This is the introduction to Programming course and the Advanced Course in Programming from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki: https://programming-23.mooc.fi/

Here is what I follow: https://github.com/woadray/cs-bootcamp

It's cheap to run, labor is also cheap.

Funny you talk about beekeeping, we also have hives for an experiment on polinazation. We will see the result next spring, I hope it will be positive so we can add more.

I started 2 months ago, no worries. I just felt that maybe asking here was a good idea.

Thanks for the tips.

There is no expert of that kind here, bottom tier poor country. If they are good at something they are probably working on their own stuff or are already employed.

Please, it would be really helpful.

Overseeing the trees so they can grow does not require much time, I have a lot of time. As for money, it cost me 3000 euros per year to run with 4 people working full time on the farm. Basic tools for maintenance was given to the land.

Yes I am living in Madagascar for at least the next 4 years. I'd gladly chat with anyone that can help me anytime. My e-mail is on my profile page.

Damn, thanks a lot for all this info.

It's in Madagascar, send me an e-mail (it's on my profile page) if that's a destination that still got your interest.

Added to my to do list.

Replied.

I will contact them, thanks a lot.

Unfortunately I'm not, I'll try to travel there and attempt this one day though. It's the last continent I haven't visited.

You're doing exactly what I was debating to do. I'll send you and e-mail. Thanks a lot.

That's not happening here, it's quite peaceful compared to other poor country, we don't have cartels. I live in Madagascar full time, I will probably go back to France some day because my fiancee is French but not in the next 3 years for sure. Now way it's not worth more that $25K, yes you red that right. It hasn't produced anything yet.

One thing you guys don't realize is that it's in Madagascar, it cost me 3000 euros per year to run, not millions.

> I would say that if OP has a family and isn't already loaded, sell outright, but if they're younger and willing to go through hell they definitely should try to be involved in growing coffee beans.

I'm loaded in my poor country, different story than when I was abroad. COL here is low like really low.

I will keep it at least until the first harvest is sold or whatever happens. If you prevent yourself from doing anything because you don't experience in it, you won't ever do anything. It costs me around 3000 euros a year to run.

What fruits?

I enjoy coffee, the business I don't know, that is why I want to try.

I'll try at least until the first harvest is sold or whatever happens. It cost me around 3000 euros a year to run for now. So YOLO

In Madagascar, east cost.

My bad, yes I misunderstood. There are but still in small scale and artisanal. And even the people we hired now can do it, but we have time until the first harvest though (3 to 4 years).

Maybe later, for now it's a barebone farm and not much else.

My life does not depend on it, so if it fails, I will lose money for sure but that's fine, won't be the first nor the last time. Labor is cheap and I want to try.

I'm on a sabbatical year, learning how to code. I used to live and work in France so yeah, I have money to invest if needed because labor is cheap. Selling locally won't bring in much profit. That's why I want to specialize in specialty coffee, better margin and easier to export. I'm looking at producing rice also, this time for local consumption.

Will looks into those, thanks a lot. As I want to be environmentally friendly these a really interesting.
