Spot on Kevin.. I work with a guy like that who believes he's awesome because he can cobble together an inefficient Frankenstein. When you try to get him to explain why he's doing very inefficient operations like reloading 12 million records among 3 database tables EVERY DAY he talks in circles th

The 'know it all' developer is the worst kind because once you know it all things are already changing. I usually say knowing where to look it up when I need it is sufficient; if it's something I do every day I know it cold but even then it's wise to see what changes are coming. -- JD Austin Voic

I have met very few developers that I considered *good* developers that did not also have a google window open full time for questions. I think have of IT and development skills is just being able to google good and figure out the rest on your own. -- Regards, -- Nathan On 2016-10-27

Not hard to imagine really. Being able to pass a test and get a certificate is often enough to get a job. He might have been working fast food or delivering pizza, so not much of a salary and then passed his boot camp test and got an entry level or junior web dev job and now he's making $45k

If he is working in California, 80k is poor people pleb tier pay. So he spent 11,000 to live in an apartment with six other dudes in San Francisco Or did he move where 80k is slick and good? On Oct 27, 2016 08:15, "Keith Smith" wrote: > > It implies he was making half of $80k - $100k. > > >

I think part of the key is only allowing those in, who show serious potential and have done some self learning and show a true passion and raw talent. It is a lot of hours. 720 - 1200 hours. And a lot of hands on which is very beneficial. If the instructors are with the students most of t

Insane! But if you read the article carefully, the students may be going for 2-3 months, but they are working 80-100 hrs a week. If you really focused, structured it like a real job, go with 1 week sprints and a focus to learn A, B, and C in sprint/week 1, and D & E in sprint/week 2, 9-12 weeks i
