Shoutout to the coding bootcamp that opened in my town last month

It's cool to see so many people from different jobs giving coding a try!

Kind of feels like another cash grab though. These places pop up everywhere but half the grads can't find actual coding jobs. Might just flood the market with more competition for no reason.

Seen the same thing happen with gluten-free and keto stuff a few years back. Suddenly every product slapped that label on and jacked up the price, regardless of actual need. Just chasing a trend for quick money.

But honestly, you need some of these fast-track options. Look at law or graphic design, those fields got flooded way before bootcamps were a thing. These programs give a real shot to people who can't go back for a four-year degree, like dianabennett's neighbor. Sure, not everyone gets a job, but that's true for college grads too. At least it opens a door that was completely shut for a lot of folks.

Used to doubt them, but my neighbor's career switch after bootcamp changed my view.
