I agree, it's better to be closer to the Polish border. That's why I wrote that I need funds to be able to take any action. The last time such a move cost me over $10k and I also volunteered to help my family and others.


No such a move only costs a few hundred dollars at most and maybe free if you are willing to rough it up with the truck drivers. The situation can only be complicated by immediate family members but still it's only a car rental or convincing somebody with a car to drive you there.


And what’s next? Sleep on the street? Rent is expensive, I’ve already tried and it’s impossible without any income.

Sure, thanks for the advice, but I’ll need to work, not just travel. I need the same big monitor for work, a good chair, and usually these things aren’t available, so I end up working in terrible conditions.


I am not saying it's a solution to your housing but a solution not to get hurt or potentially "killed". I don't have a solution to any of them. I am just saying if you really believe your life/safety is at risk, you should move now regardless.


Sure, thanks for your concern. The war started back in 2014 and at that time I didn’t even know what to do. Now, I have some experience which I’m sharing.

Thank you for sharing and I'm glad you got out of that mess and recovered. That's good advice and I've been through something similar myself a while ago. Back then, I tried working in a taxi, but programming ended up saving me. Now, if things keep going this way and AI starts taking over IT jobs, it’s quite possible I’ll have to work as a driver for Uber, where there aren’t as many AGI robots yet.

For now, I still wanted to focus on building startups and developing humanity's economy, which is what I'm best at.
