It's such a remote place (literally and perception-wise) that I get that a lot :)

It is the kind of city that turns everyone into a walking advertisement — even the folks who eventually leave tend to come back to retire.

You might look into companies like Submittable (who are based out of the area) if you're looking for programming gigs. They're working hard (with what seems to be a very collaborative and willing government) to flesh out the area's tech infrastructure, so keep your eyes open for more opportunities thereabouts over the next year or two.

And happy to introduce you to some wonderful folks in the city if you're ever stopping through and want to make some friends!
