These people are going to be competing directly with you for jobs; the net effect of this will be downward pressure on our already flat wages, and probably also lower quality software (due to bootcamp grads being incompetent and only in it for the money). And you think this is great?
- trowawee 11y agoYeah, no bootcamp grads like to code, or code in their free time, or do any self-teaching. They're all just in it for the money. Not like you, right? You're not in it for the money; heck, you'd keep working at your company even if they cut your salary in half tomorrow. ETA: Also, they're all incompetent! And not one of these people hiring them has noticed. Helluva con job.
- oldmanjay 11y agoI think competition is always great. It sharpens me. I also don't feel entitled to the jobs I want unless I'm a top performer. So yeah, some of us do think it's great, actually.
- cuckcuckspruce 11y ago>These people are going to be competing directly with you for jobs Okay, and? There's already a lot of competition out there for jobs. A little more won't hurt. Being a programmer is not like being part of a religious order. We don't need to weed out those who speak orthodoxy to the preisthood. >probably also lower quality software (due to bootcamp grads being incompetent and only in it for the money) Do plumbers that go into it for the money necessarily produce inferior work product? Do mechanics? There are a whole set of professions that have to deal with this already, and there's no evidence that it produces inferior product. >And you think this is great? I think anybody doing what they want to, so long as it does not harm themselves or anybody else, is great.
