I don't get this. At all. The guy is in Macedonia, which might be his core problem.

switching to the bay area, the situation is vastly different.

We're constantly looking for coders. We had a summer internship program with astounding interns. We hire a mix of junior and senior coders. We have a full time college hiring person. Last week we had a developer open house event to show interested coders our company and products.

Problem? We're on the other side of the Bay.

"Boring" Alameda County. Workday is here, Oracle, SAP, ServiceMax, etc. All hiring.

If you can't find a job as a developer in the Bay area, it's you.
