"I see all of my brothers and sisters with nothing to do, who want to go to work," says Seymour, who got off the mean streets eight years ago after a "spiritual revival" changed his life. "And then I see the tech cathedrals on the other side of this street. There's something wrong with this picture."The tech industry has brought great wealth to San Francisco. Tech companies fill its office space. Well-heeled employees pay the country's highest rents and spend more than $100 for dinner without blinking an eye.

In February, he signed up for Code Tenderloin's four-week interview course, meeting for three hours, twice a week. Think of it as intensive job coaching taught by people in the tech industry, such as GitHub, LinkedIn, NerdWallet and Dolby, often from their offices.
