- minhaz23 8y agoWith a degree, and dev experience, why did you decide to attend a bootcamp?
- wishinghand 8y agoMy degree was in literature, and my dev experience was very basic. The company I was at before the bootcamp used git, but did not use classes, SOLID, unit tests, some sort of CI/CD pipeline or build tools. My resume was only getting very basic experience, so I decided to speed it up a little, especially since I was starting my dev career at 28 or 29.
