In my my highly subjective opinion, dismiss it freely: This bootcamp do-nothing trope strikes me as a stereotype coming from a similar place as the stereotypes of illegal immigrants taking jobs. Likely real but very rare, and disproportionately highlighted. Of course I am biased, as I am a boot camp grad.
- adam_arthur 4y agoI’m not against bootcamps generally. I just hired 4 people for my team, and the guy with 0 experience and bootcamp grad is actually the most valuable. More using it as a euphemism for those that aren’t particularly skilled. Skill is more a product of motivation of the individual, and bootcamp vs college doesn’t matter much in the end. All that to say, the gold rush where low skill people can get a 6 figure job after a short period of training is coming to an end
