Specifically, the AC who claims that all job posts are works of fiction and that Soggy Jobs is a fraud.
It is specifically for people like him that I built it. I want to facilitate the employment of those who find it difficult to find work.
However, I am forced to concede that I'm stymied by this particular AC. I expect he has some manner of mental illness whose paranoia leads him to be completely convinced that _nobody_ actually works as a coder.
The booming Portland economy is centered around the Pearl District and its Downtown. Locate your startup there and you'll get VC like there's no tomorrow.
But you won't hire any coders.
Have you any advice as to how I can help him? Help me out here, I'm begging you!

There are some other fun reads for that search.
The advice I found was to tell them that you're moving somewhere they don't offer service. I was concerned that my Customer Service Rep might actually know something about Nepal, so I told him I'd got a coding job in Gaeta, Italy - I lived there when I was six. My father was in the Navy, you know.
"When are you moving?"
"The airport shuttle for my flight to Vancouver BC is coming tomorrow morning at five."
I was concerned they might continue my service while claiming they had terminated it, so I started ping going while my rep took a good long time to actually implement my cancellation. I'm pleased to report that he really _did_.
There was a possibility that my clever plan could have fallen through: I don't actually know whether there are any flights from PDX to Vancouver BC tomorrow.
However I was under the impression that I was charged ahead of time for each month's service, and that by cancelling before the thirteenth, I would not be charged at all. But no: Comcast charges around the middle of one's month, but he said they'd pro-rate this month's charge, which turns out to be completely cool for me: had they charged the full amount, it would have overdrawn my business account.
I'm at Taco Bell just now. I eat here because I don't regard Taco Bell as Mexican food, rather it is a dietary genre unto its own, and I can get more with a very minimum amount of cash than that same amount of cash would purchase at a taqueria.
I at first intended to work on Soggy Jobs tonight, but there is still not so much pain in my abdomen, but discomfort. I won't do any real work at all until my potential client sends me their Windows and Linux source so I can prepare my quote for a Mac driver. It's a Thunderbolt gadget - Thunderbolt is cable-connected PCI express.
One Last Word:
I'm no better than anybody else; I put mild salsa on my burrito.
But I promise to go back to Fire when I no longer get the shits as a result of my Nephrectomy. Hopefully that will be soon.
