I spent a few weeks working out of a coworking space about a year ago.
As I was sitting there typing away, it dawned on me that the place reminded of a college library, but better with coffee/snack being allowed.
I can't think of a better place to learn how to code than a coworking place. With so much energy of people working away, you will be energized to work/learn and not waste time youtubing. And you have other coders you can ask for help. Wasn't that the promise of bootcamp anyways? Keeping out the distractions?
Hopefully WeWork won't try to keep the old Flat Iron School way of charging $1500/month training. Instead they should grant anyone who uses WeWork facility the added bonus of (free or with a minor fee) attending Flat Iron School coding classes.
Maybe ask a locally based dev to offer service as a tutor to Flat Iron School attendees in return for reduced/free private office space. Students can come into the enclosed office hour during set hours. I can see even some devs volunteering for this as a way to network with future hires.
Asking someone to pay the $1500/mon for coding training while still having to find a place to study (starbucks sucks for this purpose) is not feasible. But asking someone to pay $450 a month for a dedicated desk (with 24/7 access) and grant the option of attending a bootcamp with a little bit extra fee? I think that's a very good option. Try the service for 1-2 months, and if not working you can quit. Without being burdened with big debt. And you have experienced devs and other students in the office locally that you can network with.
