What's your definition of traditional? I'm 60% sure you're not talking about crocheting or sewing. Wouldn't traditional practices include paganism too and is that considered a conflict at that point? I feel like you have a stronger set of criterion in your head that would be beneficial to share.

Crocheting, sewing, and (traditional) paganism are all fine. Anyone who practices any of these is a candidate. I just don't want degenerate modern scum.

I'm more concerned about what defines characteristics of degeneracy in your eyes.

This looks like an excellent opportunity though. So to clarify, you're saying that you would train a couple of folks from scratch to learn these coding methods?

Degeneracy in programming means preferring complexity over simplicity, and preferring ideas over what works in the real world. These things correlate to all other forms of degeneracy which are generally things that cause societies to fail, and are condemned in religious texts. All of the values of modern western culture are degenerate.

Of course I would much rather hire a programmer with experience since they can be useful right away. In the future I hope to offer free programming classes to a non-degenerate population like the Mennonites in north Mexico.

So would this be a 1099 hire? How would you propose to educate someone on programming, as in are you personally teaching them and you've devised instructional material to do so with or referring them to another resource?

Yes 1099.

I haven't thought through how to teach programming yet. I would probably put together some instructional material and then have a class.
