This is exactly how I reacted when reading that line. Everybody can become a developer, yes. Everybody can become a good developer quickly, most likely not, and that applies also to people coming out with a formal education in CS, not only bootcampers.
I don't understand fully why so many people think that about coding, but not about other fields, like cooking/building/who knows.

- jrm2k6 10y agoCould explain it. I think also easy access to information/tutorials/affordability for self-learning?
- lbotos 10y agoPeople have just as much access via youtube for cooking tutorials but people are _not_ flocking to be chefs. For the cost of a Macbook you can definitely get a pretty decent kitchen + laptop and also literally feed yourself delicious meals... it's the money that brings people to tech. Full stop. I always tell my friends that I got lucky that my passion also happened to pay well. Because if I wanted to be a chef, the road is much harder to make the same money.
