No intention of fetishizing or dismissing the field was intended. If you read the post I think you’ll see I’m doing the opposite. All the work I do today is predicated on a strong understanding of C.S fundamentals that you dont learn in a programming bootcamp. I’m actually encouraging everyone who did a programming bootcamp to take the time to go back and fill in the knowledge that they’re missing because I think it’s so important for achieving a satisfying career and high impact work. Some of us realized we wanted to work in this field too late after we had already gotten an undergraduate degree in something else. A big part of the message in my post was that C.S education is important and encourages people to find ways to fill in that missing knowledge one way or another (although I don’t usually encourage going back to get another 4 year degree formally because I think there are faster ways these days that don’t involve losing 4 years of income.) There was no intention to brag about my lack of education here and I think if you asked most people I work with they’d probably be surprised to know I don’t have a C.S degree. I know the title is a bit click baitey, but it’s just a hook to get people to read what I think is a lot of practical advice for getting their career to where they want it to be.
