You can see this guy is not a developer because he didn't spend 2 months learning machine learning and computer vision while trying to automatize the form classification task only to give up after 6 months and do it by hand anyway.
And clearly government because he didn't spend 10 dollars in mechanical turks to do it in 24 hours.
