Companies want familiarity (repeatable processes) and “objectivity” (credentials). I always knew their spiel about “disrupting higher education” with bootcamps

Companies want familiarity (repeatable processes) and “objectivity” (credentials). I always knew their spiel about “disrupting higher education” with bootcamps and free courses was just empty platitudes, and that once the party ended those who placed their faith in those schemes would be promptly abandoned in favor of the traditional Ivy League set.
- oceansky 1y agoAt no point bootcamp devs were as favored as ivy league students. The idea is likely flooding the market with devs, lowering software development costs and increasing software in the market increasing cloud usage.
- stego-tech 1y agoOh, I’m well aware of who favored bootcamp devs and cert collectors: MSPs and outsourcing firms. If I were to put on my tinfoil hat though, I agree with your theory. These people often (in my personal experience) don’t know how to do anything not covered explicitly in the learning or testing material, leading to outsized dependencies on subscription or vendor portfolio products in lieu of independent or collaborative problem solving.
