The root problem is that in my experience completing a bootcamp tends to be a reliable signal to identifying bad hires (when it comes to software engineering). I have interviewed quite a few from different bootcamps, I've hired a few of them and so far the results have been very poor. The only good hire from a bootcamp I've had, I hired in a project manager role where she shines, she's honestly not able to code but she understands enough that she's an effective manager and has great interpersonal skills. Great hire but not a good testament to a bootcamp.
- cbozeman 5y agoHow would you recommend this problem be addressed and fixed? I don't know if I buy the whole, "A four year degree at Stanford and 12 years of mathematics from age 6-18 is the only way to produce a successful software engineer." I know you're not making that claim explicitly, but it feels like an implicit claim.
