"Just want money" may be a little too harsh. I'd say many are interested in technology but they don't know what they are getting into. Even the best bootcamps

"Just want money" may be a little too harsh. I'd say many are interested in technology but they don't know what they are getting into.
Even the best bootcamps are too short to go much into concepts - they turn out at best software technicians.
- gustavus 3y ago> best software technicians. This here is the fundamental issue right here. There is a difference between technicians and engineers. There's a heavy emphasis on technicians, not as much on engineers. The big way to spot the difference is a technician defines themselves by their tools.
- nosefurhairdo 3y agoI knew what I was getting into; practical programming skills and concepts to make a career change, both for money and for more interesting work. Fortunately, most of us work on plumbing data through web applications, so you really don't miss much by not having taken classes on compilers and assembly language. The best engineers will always be self-directed learners. Bootcamp is just a springboard.
