Job Unoptimized

“I have a lot of friends who work in those companies, and they literally encourage me every week to quit my job and do what they’re doing,” said Helana Corda, who teaches sixth graders at a public middle school, is a part-time bartender and works at a program for disadvantaged children.

If Ms. Corda doesn’t want to code, maybe she could at least do something useful in the new San Francisco economy, like deliver burritos summoned by an app created by the people who do code? Their children aren’t going to public school, after all.
