Interesting… 50% of US dev cost is like what if you don’t mind saying? 100k?
I found the biggest issue with these engagements is the trust with remote developers.
If I could add anything of help I would say to focus on yourself. Self love shouldn’t be underestimated. If people can’t love, like or live with the person you love, there might be an issue with your environment, not you. Anyways hope you find compassion
I had some interest in the last few months working with macOS 9.2. Got it running through a few different emulation options. The main issues I saw was that there is no morsel web browser. SSL support is limited even if you manage to get an updated version of Classilla. Another issue is that development is extremely limited. Would be interesting to have a modern version of 9.2. I would give it a proper go.
