I respectfully disagree. There may well be people who would
rather 
work on PowerPC Linux kernels more than any other thing in the
world,
and it is entirely appropriate for job openings for PowerPC
Linux kernel
programmers to be posted here.

Much as I would like to be, and not for lack of trying,
indpendently
wealthy off some dot-com IPO, so that I may code on whatever I
wished, 
I have, in fact, failed at this, and must stick to actual
employment
to feed, cloth and educate my family. I am not alone.

There is a long precedent for this in academic societies, and
you will
find job postings in Nature, Science, Physics Today and
American
Mathematical Monthly. Frankly, there simply are not so many
job
opporunities that we, much like engineers and scientists in
general, 
can afford to thumb our noses at them.

If you in fact are especially fortunate, then perhaps you
could
mentor someone younger: someone who is hot, smart, and fresh
out of
college, a good talent, who has contributed good patches, but
is now 
faced with the need to find rent and beer money. What advice
can you
give them, "tough luck Squidward, go work at the Krusty Krab?"

Maybe you should stand on a corner with a sign that says:
"Will code for food"...
