Thanks Jared. While we're at it, if anybody can't come to SF for dev bootcamp, and/or can't afford it, I highly recommend Jared's http://www.bloc.io/

There are couple of inaccuracies in this article: First, I only had 200 applicants, and they were all a result of this post about 6 months ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3267133 Second, the article seems to give me and dev bootc

I just taught 20 people ror. It took 8 weeks. They worked their butts off, and now two thirds of them have entry level dev jobs. The talent gap is big enough now that it doesn't take much for someone who is talented and motivated to get to

He suggests "managing humans" as a good book for managers to read. Just started reading it, and it seems decent. Anybody have other good resources?

Yes, we did an exit interview, we're pulling together the numbers and will post them in the next week. We're definitely very interested in your second question too. It's going to be a few weeks before folks get offers and accept them, but I

30 companies interviewed 20 students this last Friday for 5 minutes each. On average each student was invited to 6 companies for further interviews. This experiment only works if we're totally transparent so I'll be updating this community

I think that's a really good question. My goal in designing the curriculum was to graduate world-class beginners, not to quickly hack together one or two rails apps. The first half of devbootcamp was just Ruby. We covered basics of OO desig

I like your version of the future, and would love to live in it. However in my present, every ninety seconds, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted. Tens of thousands of girls and women are trafficked for sex, and one out of 3

I respectfully disagree. It was precisely from countless discussions like this that I began to see my sexism. Through patient, non-judgmental, and intelligent discourse, I started to see how I was trained by our society to see women differe

Yeah stdbrouw, I think you missed the mark on this one. These things aren't even in the same ballpark. I imagine that being marked as 'hipster' has very different consequences for you than being marked as a 'slut' would have.

My favorite quote: "The single most important thing you must do to improve your programming career is improve your ability to communicate." Anybody have tips on how I can improve my communication?

Clearly it's not just you. But I still find their way of doing things to be inspiring and thought-provoking. They're making their own rules, and I respect them from that. I found the post refreshing.

This makes my blood boil. It's this kind of shameless twisting of facts that makes these guys almost impossible to counter. "Never pick a fight with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig enjoys it"

It is. Thanks. It was born out of this thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3267133 There are 20 willing students signed up to be experimented on in the spring. I'll definitely keep folks here posted on the results. What does Jung

Thank you for articulating this so crisply. I realize that I have the same idea as well that "most people can't". Where did we get this idea come from? I'm genuinely curious. I've recently taken a huge bet in the opposite direction of this

I would love to see an analysis that measures hotness in a different way: The ratio of the word making it to the front page to the word being used in any submission. e.g. "Coffeescript" made it to the front page 90% of the time it was submi
