That's an interesting idea.
I should have been more clear, it's not really about this one individual. I'd like to see people with potential supported towards a career. It can be hard to do without guidance.
Helping people from poverty to a good career can have a huge knock on effect to families and communities and societies.
The repo in question wasn't amazing in an absolute context. It was amazing given this person doesn't own a computer and struggles to eat. Time spent looking for food is time that can't be spent learning.
I don't actually have the link at the moment. But there must be millions of people with technical aptitude but without the support and means to grow that into a career.
