For developers in certain areas (SF for example), $100/day might be cheaper than (or on par with) local housing. With a good internet solution, that might be an interesting way to work and travel at the same time.

I remember hearing once about a company trying to turn an old cruise ship into a floating hotel off the coast of California. The idea was also to keep it in international waters so that visas and taxes were not a thing. I wonder what happened to that idea?

Thanks! The one I was thinking of was for non-us it workers to work close to the us. They even were going to fly out US residents for meeting on the boat.

That's blueseed - https://blueseed.com/ . They could never get the funding needed to make it happen.
