You were never _asked_

Do you know what a bootcamp is?

It's a 6 or 7 week program where you get crammed a lot of programming and then get sent out to find jobs.

I did Python there and it was too hard even with all the code you wrote for me so I quit

 

[John Price]

Very few people here understand programming. Larry doesn't even work in IT, Tarantula fixes people's computers, and the one person that "did understand it" got banished to the shadow realm and doesn't exist. So I don't want to hear from non-programmers on programming issues. "like u have never programmed Python before" I worked in Python for the boot camp genius

 

[John Price]

I mean I'm talking to people who think you can't get 150k straight out of college despite /r/cscareerquestions saying different.

How is Florida @Summer Rose

 

[Summer Rose]

If it’s so easy why are you still unemployed

I didn't say it was easy. It's very hard.

 

[John Price]

If it was easy I'd be one of those 150k people living in Boston or Aurora or Denver

Humid

It gets humid here too especially with the AC being off most of the time. Then you go upstairs and it's so damn hot. And that's just DC.

Must be worse in FLA.

What Bootcamp?

What Bootcamp?

Just a college one here

There are ones all over the country which cram skills into you. They don't have a lot of those for biomedical engineers which is why you know almost nothing about it.

University of Denver Coding Boot Camp | Denver

University of Denver Coding Boot Camp | Denver
The University of Denver Coding Boot Camp's program teaches you the key skills for front end and back end development and helps prepare you for success in the professional world. Challenge yourself through a rigorous curriculum that covers a full stack, including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, Node.js, PHP, Laravel, Express.js, React.js ...

 

[John Price]

To be fair you even say you're not a coder so I don't know why you're talking as if you are one.

 

[John Price]

Web developer bootcamps have become a major part of the tech industry. Every big tech hub has at least a handful of them, and some have dozens, like San Francisco. Similar to military boot camps that turn normal citizens into combat troops, these short, intensive coding bootcamps claim that they can launch you from your current career to a new, tech-focused career in only a matter of weeks. Sounds far-fetched? You’re not alone. From the dawn of the industry in 2012 until now, programming bootcamps have gradually clawed their way into the mainstream despite the natural skepticism from the market—a typical challenge for new products—and have become an established contributor to the developer talent pipeline. In addition to traditional channels for dev talent such as 4-year universities, tech firms of all sizes continue to hire more bootcamp graduates year after year.

What is your job.

 

[John Price]

I would be more accepting to coding if there weren't so many errors that kept showing up in the compiler (either in the developer's console or Eclipse IDE)
