The second is that the number of jobs onboard will be limited
at first. This especially applies to high-paying jobs, which
tend to be in specialized fields which require a large population
to support. So the prospective full-time seasteader must either
be independently wealthy or be able to run a business on board.
While there will be some people like this, its a small market.
Timesharing lets people earn their main income elsewhere while
the internal economy develops.

In the Med a lot of people from Eastern Europe countries that are not part of the EU yet (the number is decreasing, but Bulgaria and Rumenia are good examples) have very skilled programmers that are not allowed to be hired in the EU. I'm not sure how long this situation will last, but it may be easier to set up a software company at sea than in for example Bulgaria (i have some experience with a very low profile branch in Bulgaria)

http://www.sea-code.com is apparently going to do what Joep suggests, but it's hard to tell whether it was just a publicity stunt. A seastead seems like a superior platform for this type of operation in any case.
