Glad to see at least another perspective more or less echo my experiences/observations. You can't discount motivation, and bootcamps are filled with either those chomping to learn and explore, or those looking for the next goldrush. Adding to the challenge of differentiating is sometimes they are the same person.
- bombcar 3y agoIf you're skilled/smart/whatever you're gonna be fine, usually, so let's discount those and set them aside. There's definitely a cohort of "moderately capable at plugging away" type developer that can successfully come out of a bootcamp, and it's usually something like this path: bootcamp - headhunter agency that needs bodies - develop familiarity/skill with the toolset - hired directly via some other company. Less "startup valley next great thing" and more "updating the Java application for a change in the tax code this year" style corporate programming (which is the vast majority of all programming).
