Is there a chance for remote from LATAM?

[samier-steward → diegorbaquero]

Yes, I think LATAM is fine, especially if you hit a lot of the requirements and have experience building early.

Time zone is a concern for us at the moment, so (for anyone else reading this), I think it's basically Western hemisphere only right now.

I admire what Socket is doing. If anything happened to my current job it would be the first place where I'd want to work. Keep rocking Feross, greetings from Colombia.

Why restrict it to only Google accounts?

[AnotherGoodName → diegorbaquero]

It's a cheap way to prevent abuse.

If you have no log in flow at all you'll be spammed. If you have your own sign in flow how do you detect and stop automated account creation and subsequent spam? Can you beat Google at stopping bot signups?

In the end it's a lightweight barrier to abuse. You can argue they should diversify and not just use Google but hey it's a small project. It's understandable. It's also free to sign up for Google for a real user.

Around $56/mo in Colombia with access to top doctors, hospitals and clinics. Copay is $6 for any appointment. But surgery/ER/hospitalization incidents are free

How enforceable is this? If I’m a Latin American hosting in the US what happens?
