Very good article, but I really didn't like the "if only I could quickly get coding skills and be an engineer" part. I'm really the last one to call for mandatory lengthy education, but there's a reason I'd usually agree that people having studied Computer Science and worked in the field for few years tend to know certain things people that "learnt to code" don't. But yeah, maybe the valley is different and there's a huge market for people learning stuff for a few months and rightfully making a lot more money than I do in Europe :)
