It would go beyond a jobs forum. It would be a community of good-intended programmers to help each other. This would make programming discussions less competitive (and less stressful) because after all, some users are not here for the money.

So you would want a Bitcoin version of StackOverflow?
I can understand the idea, but I don't think it would be implemented simply because there is no need for it. Programming jobs belong in the Services sub-board, and any programming questions can be asked on sites such as StackOverflow or can be created for a bounty the Services sub-section (or Services Discussion if it is a problem with an external service - E.G an API).

I don't think signature campaigns have not been given their own subforum because signature campaigns attract a lot of spam.

Signature campaigns have not been given their own sub-forum (AFAIK) simply because there is not enough to warrant them having their own sub-forum. There are only 10-20 active at the same time, so there is definitely not enough to fill a sub-forum and maintain activity.

I think the programming tasks are not enough to fill a separate (sub)section. These days we have a lot of programming-related threads on the first pages (of the services section) because user Mexicantrader has been bumping old threads with a generic answer (question: What is the max time since last posting to consider a bump valid and not spam here on BCT?).

Now, I think the suggestion by itself is great, but if the admins have not considered creating a sub-forum for signature campaigns (which, let's be honest, make at least half the services section active threads), I do not think they will set a "programming" section. Maybe services could have a few subsections like programming, writting / translating, Signature campaigns and paid sign-ups (which I think currently constitute at least 80% of the content of the services section).

If such a section is created, I would like to suggest to add a cold down for posting. Again, user Mexicantrader has been posting on every programming-related thread, I do not think he is skilled in every single programming language / style nor has he the time to work on every job he has "applied" to.

I don't think signature campaigns have not been given their own subforum because signature campaigns attract a lot of spam. Programmers all over the internet have helped me, and most of the time, I get an answer and I gain more experience. There is no experience to gain from sig campaigns.

To be honest, good programmers are already hired by companies, they don't need part time jobs as freelancer for money. For noobs like me, I would appreciate any job offered to me.

I'd be all for it. Would definitely give incentive to learning blockchain programming if the resource was right there.

EDIT: So up for the idea I was longtime lurker until this post.

I am 100% certain there are hundreds of programmers looking for jobs on this forum. The forum will discuss bitcoin related programming as well as answer questions about coding. Many computer-related forums generally have a section like this. It would also stimulate co-operation amongst Bitcoin coders (it seems quite competitive at the moment).

Thoughts?
