I wonder how fast they'll return to teaching/biomedical jobs.
> "I began to think 'what do I have to lose?' So decided to do a 14 week coding bootcamp which taught me the foundations of python and SQL."
14 weeks is barely a semester. "Some python" with SQL will soon be in the realm of what ChatGPT can do. How long until the industry doesn't need a lot of coders with basic grasp on the language and no domain specific knowledge? Remember all the people coding simple HTML websites and customizing PHP templates in the early 00's? How many of them were replaced by Shopify/SquareSpace/Wix?
What I hate about these articles, is that it conflates "coders" with little more than in intro class at a serious university with professional software engineers. In the current environment I would not sell the idea to someone that a 3 months course can lead them into a viable career long term (from what I've seen, if they meet the hiring bar they typically leave the industry not long after).
