Id like to learn more about your bootcamp experiences. Do you still recommend it?
- mettamage 8y agoI was a bootcamp instructor (hello HN -- I'm for hire as one! See my email in my profile). Since I'm in between jobs I can be frank (to potential schools wanting to hire me, I care about the right selection of students). There are 3 types of people in bootcamps: 1. People who are too good. They should run away from bootcamps. 2. People who are the right fit. 3. People who aren't able to understand what if-based thinking is (if I am cold, then I will put on an extra layer of clothing). These people shouldn't do a bootcamp. All people in this group seem to have less education or less high quality education. My tip: go to freecodecamp.org and do 2 weeks to 4 weeks of JS. If you notice that you're motivated enough to learn alone then continue and don't do a bootcamp. If you notice that you struggled (motivation-wise) then do a bootcamp.
