We're agreeing fwiw. Trades treated like trades are a value-add all around, but they take time, and they aren't necessarily sexy.
The teach people to code movement, for whatever reason, portrays itself as being something everyone can and should "break into" in 10 weeks.
edit: Just realized the conflation between "get hired as a software developer for six-figures" vs literally "make learning how to code accessible for all". The latter makes way more honest sense.
- ChrisMarshallNY 3y agoI wasn't disagreeing. It's sort of "apples and oranges." I'm a big believer in the apprenticeship system, but I have found it to be profoundly unpopular, with software engineers (in the US), as can be noted by the reaction to my comment. I consider my software engineering to be as much craft, as it is, vocation, and I had some good mentors.
