Those bootcamp devs can replace your outsourced devs in India. But typically they have very little skill in thinking like an engineer, meaning they will utterly fail to implement any business logic and/or those software components that actually create value for the customer.
If you feel like learn2code graduates are competing with you, maybe that means it's time for you to level up yourself.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoFresh out of the schools, in the first year or two sure. But afaik most of them don't really stay full time engineers for that long, most bounce out or switch to other specializations with the experience they've earned. Code school devs 4+ years into their careers are as reliable as anyone else at the same experience level. I slightly prefer them with hiring, since succeeding with that approach shows a certain degree of flexibility and calculated risk taking. The first code school cohorts are a decade or more into their careers now. Most of them didn't stick around but the ones who did are very solid. They are just the forerunners, the big swell of 2015-2018 graduates who stayed in the industry is just hitting that mid-senior level.
