Someone needs to realise that employing 100 cheap junior people to deliver a software project is not going to work. You end up with <20 developers + 80 people overhead (PM/QA/etc) and communication overhead will kill any productivity. Better to hire 10 people that know something and just pay each of them 10x.
- hourislate 10y agoIf you read the article you would have learned that they are choosing to train these people in a boot camp style environment. It seems the education system is failing in producing solid software developers. I am struggling with a similar scenario right now. My oldest is struggling/coming to grips with attending a University where he wants to study Cyber Security but will spend at least two years learning about Geography, History, art appreciation, peoples of culture and two years of other courses that are loosely relevant to the Cyber Security Industry and dreadfully behind the times. He took History and Geography and other courses through out HS. How much more do he need to be exposed to it? This is why our System is failing us and a lot of kids are unprepared. They only way to learn what you want to learn is to do it outside of Academia. Sad but true.
