A good book describing this is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Old-Order-Conservative-Mennonite/dp/1561481017/">An Introduction to Old Order and Conservative Mennonite Groups</a>. The liberal groups are too accepting of modern culture. They have lost the discernment to distinguish between good and bad/evil, so they cannot become good programmers. The more conservative groups are more resistant to modern culture. But one way these groups protect themselves from modern culture is by limiting technology. Clearly a group that limits technology too much, for example by banning the internet, cannot become programmers. So the challenge is to find a group with the best balance - conservative enough to reject modern culture, but tolerant of technology so that they can become programmers.</p> - <p>I found what I think is <a href="https://map.churchindex.org/church-profile.php?id=c7797e65-90ff-11ee-b0e9-00163eb3bc90">the optimal church</a> <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/FKj2uoSBV3QiomS79">in north Mexico</a>. When I visited them, I didn't have a clear plan of what to do. A number of them are carpenters and they expressed an interest in better carpentry software. So now my plan is to develop good tools for programming carpentry software, and then try to get a Mennonite from this church to work with me on implementing a carpentry program. If he can make money by selling this program to other Mennonites, then I hope that this becomes a seed that encourages other Mennonites to learn good programming.</p> + <p>I found what I think is <a href="https://map.churchindex.org/church-profile.php?id=c7797e65-90ff-11ee-b0e9-00163eb3bc90">the optimal church</a> <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/FKj2uoSBV3QiomS79">in north Mexico</a>.

But for carpentry software, I need to support a desktop user interface and 3D rendering. It will take me some time to develop these tools. First I will implement a text editor in <a href="<%=luan_url()%>/">Luan</a> as a real application that requires a desktop user interface. Then I will implement basic 3D rendering. Only after these are done will I go back to the Mennonite church to discuss my plan with them.</p> + <p>My recent programming has been web development, so my programming tools are designed for this. But for carpentry software, I need to support a desktop user interface and 3D rendering. So far I have done the following: I have implemented desktop user interface tools in <a href="<%=luan_url()%>/">Luan</a>. I have finished those portions of my <a href="learn.html">programming course</a> that a Mennonite would need to work on carpentry software. And I have implemented language translation to Spanish of this site and the Luan site.</p> + + <p>What remains is specific to carpentry software. This is an area that I know nothing about, but I watched some videos on the subject and making good carpentry software looks like a non-trivial project. So I am reluctant to start on this project by myself. My plan is to look for a Mennonite who is interested in working with me on this project. If I find one, then I would add 3D rendering to Luan while he learns basic programming. Then we could work together on implementing the carpentry software.</p> <h2>Japan</h2> - <p>The Japanese have managed to preserve their culture and not be absorbed into modern culture. Japan is the only nation that I know of that has managed to do this. The Japanese are high-tech, so there is no issue of limited technology. For me, the biggest issue is the language barrier since I know very little Japanese. I will look into what is possible in Japan after I have finished the Mennonite plan.</p> + <p>The Japanese have managed to preserve their culture and not be absorbed into modern culture.
