Coding Bootcamps: Are They Worth the Hype?
- Flankk 5y agoI think so. Knowledge is power. You can get it handed down from an ivory tower but academia only has a monopoly on reputation, not information. It comes down to whether or not companies want to hire the stinky self-taught developers. I think the answer is mostly yes. You can always create your own company if that doesn't pan out, assuming you are into that sort of thing.
- thuccess129 5y agoKnowledge danks fast in the techspace. Do a MOOC series guided by long standing institutes, such as, MIT. Volunteer on a codebase, such as, webrtc, GCC, Wine or SQLite. Earn your stars and make connections. Bootcamps sound like they will queue you up to be the nextgen Mailchimp coder canon fodder. Promises made. Promises broken.
