A bunch of my current company’s backend is in JS on node. I’m not sure it’s so bad. I’ve had a different experience that most didn’t know much programming, but understood some typical webapp patterns. If more bootcampers came out with a solid understanding of programming principles and software engineering basics, the language they knew wouldn’t matter as much. Edit: I’ll also add that yes, they probably are looking for a job quickly, and that should be OK. Many bootcampers are trying to improve their lives by making a drastic change in their career. I think bootcamps set students’ expectations too high. They apply for as many jobs as they can without really knowing if they are a good fit. Often they’re not but there is some company out there that needs a jr web dev who would love to help them develop their skills and career. It’s just probably a bad idea to go for early and mid stage startups.
