To be fair, you don't really know what his beginners are "banging up". It simply doesn't take much skill to use a web framework to generate database-backed webpages (witness the rise of the "javascript programmer").
The bootcamps are cranking out a commodity product for a commodity world.
- sotojuan 11y agoThat is interesting, because I am a CS student and that's exactly want I want to start my career with (web development). I do a lot of React on my own and have some Rails background. It seems like entry-level jobs in that area, between other CS majors, bootcamp grads, and self-taught developers, are going to get tough to get.
- WalterSear 11y agoActually, IMHO, it's easier than ever. Supply can't keep up with demand, and anyone who can show demonstrable skills via a portfolio of relevant personal projects and the demonstrable practical knowledge is on the fast track.
- sotojuan 11y agoThat's good to know. Thanks!
- johan_larson 11y agoIt's not like it is the first time this has happened. EDS (remember them?) had so much demand for programmers back in the mainframe days that they resorted to hiring people with no knowledge of computers, pushing them through a three/four-month course in programming, and them putting them to work as junior coders.
