If you get out there early enough you can find an open street corner to hold up a "Will Code For Food" sign.

Haha, jokes aside, I wonder how this would actually work.

Jokes aside, in the current tech contraction with almost every company laying off and freezing hiring, unless you have lots of experience, some rare skills, or a great network of contacts you face a rough road. Lots of people looking for jobs in the Valley. Holding up a sign on the corner may work just as well as sending in applications or trying to chat someone up on Santana Row.
