At one point we broadened our hiring pipeline to grads of a local bootcamp (their sales rep were apparently very convincing).
About two thirds of the candidates couldn't write three lines of code on a whiteboard.
- saos 4y agoI don't have anything against bootcamp but I see common pattern: 1. They are in it for money 2. They are in it for the lifestyle 3. They suffer big on by imposter syndrome The programmers I've worked with over the years were just passionate about programming and thats why they entered the field. They spend years refining the craft. But, now it has drastically changed. The next generation what it "now". Everything "now". They want to buy a home "now". They want new shows "now".
