> These bootcamps are too basic for starters. They never take you beyond the basics. Secondly, the industry has changed. You need to know more things than you did previously. Even computer science grads aren't necessarily "ready" for the workforce. Education is behind in general instead of ingrained into the community with which it wishes to operate. They are always lagging behind or even way behind.
If any educational institution gave you everything you needed to know, we'd all be DaVinci's. Being too basic isn't a problem if people don't expect the learning to stop after graduation, in fact, I think this is the biggest misconception about boot camps. You're going to need to teach yourself as much as they do to be successful. Same with college.
> On some level I feel as though businesses need to get real and just pick someone for the job even entry level. There is nothing wrong with a business investing in its talent rather than expecting everyone to come in with prepackaged with everything you want them to know. Most of the people hiring these days didn't know how to do any of the stuff people are doing when they come out of bootcamp when they started their careers.
Totally agree, great dev teams, have no problem on boarding people regardless of knowledge set.
