Seconded. I was in a similar position and then realized I’d never get “unlimited” access to try all the Azure services like that. Tried them all without worrying about the cash aspect, and learned a ton.

The Donkey

By G. K. Chesterton

When fishes flew and forests walked

   And figs grew upon thorn,

Some moment when the moon was blood

   Then surely I was born.

With monstrous head and sickening cry

   And ears like errant wings,

The devil’s walking parody

   On all four-footed things.

The tattered outlaw of the earth,

   Of ancient crooked will;

Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,

   I keep my secret still.

Fools! For I also had my hour;

   One far fierce hour and sweet:

There was a shout about my ears,

   And palms before my feet.

If you haven't already, check with a local friend who knows their tax/legal stuff.

I remember there being a SARS (South African Revenue Service) clause about owning an offshore company that primarily does business in South Africa. Essentially trying to stop people creating offshore shells to get bill their local clients from, as people try to evade tax like that.

It doesn't mean you _can't_ set one up, you just might need to have an extra X or Y in place to make it legal.

They might have a % threshold of how much offshore/local business you need to meet in order for it to be OK. I think ask around first...

My guess would be to replace "coding SaaS founder" with "developer" as a start.

Yes! This is where the No Such Thing as a Fish podcast derives it’s name. Interesting, fun facts/discussion.

I like to refer to Parkinson’s law as Boyle’s law for our behavior, too

Firefox with containers for multiple work accounts/social/browsing means I only use one browser now. Before containers I’d only open Safari/chromium for any form of social media. Bitwarden for cross-device password management can help too.

Particle(.io) looks like a promising platform. I've only used their devices and platform for some hobby projects and one small paid-for project. I like that it takes care of most of the hard stuff for you, which would be good for people who are wanting to build IoT businesses. This may help their success.
