doesn't your bootcamp experience support the opposite theory? less but higher quality education can ramp someone up faster than four years of university education.
- duxup 7y agoI think when it comes to the future with disruption, rapid job changes, and etc boot camp like experiences (3 month education on a topic(s)) could be a valuable tool in redirecting and helping or even just expanding the skills of a workforce. I think there is very much a thing there that could help change the way education works and maybe augment existing education (a boot camp before starting down the CS path might be a good booster / filter out folks who "hey I don't want to do this, I'll do something else"). On the other hand my experience also says that boot camps are heavily profit driven and generally do a poor job of selecting students and push through students who IMO have no business touching code. About half my class was IMO, unemployable. In that way I'm a bit aligned with the article ;)
