I'm currently in the process of moving from a major metropolitan area (DFW) to a town with a population under 4k.

There's fiber internet, and starlink will hopefully be out this year for North America.

One of the best decisions I've ever made, but it depends on what you like.

I find it peaceful and comforting to write code on my back porch, looking at the trees and the occasional deer stopping by.

There are tradeoffs though. Long drive (1.5 hrs) to nearest Best Buy. Delivery dates for online orders are much longer.

I've been much more productive at work since I removed myself from the bustle of urban life.
