Here's the Problem I've Got With AC

Journal by MichaelDavidCrawford

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!

    I readily agree that most in the industrialized world have very little concept of how bad it is for those who are in other lands.

    My Facebook friend M. lives in Sierra Leone. One time I mentioned that the Bill And Melinda Gates Foundation supplied free mosquito netting to Africa. My friend wanted to know how he could get one, so I looked into it. No it turns out that the Foundation is supplying nets to just _one_ African country. I'm hoping this is just some manner of ramp-up study.

    When M. gave him the bad news, he wanted to know how he could get the Foundation to supply nets to Sierra Leone too. Honestly I have no clue.

    My friend is disabled. My plan is to teach him Python over the net, so that he can eventually provide for himself by remote coding. But the chances are pretty good that M. will die of Malaria first.
