They Were Promised Coding Jobs in Appalachia
[Warning Exremely Controversial Post Ahead]I am currently working for a big corporate in the UK, who have been showing off their "pioneering" and "visionary" strategy to focus recruitment from code boot-camps.All I can say is that as a senior developer, it has made my life misery. I've gone from writing code and producing features, to a full-time mentor and babysitter. 
Half of the boot-camp graduates I believe have become coders for the wrong reasons like:* developers have an easy life, getting into work whenever they choose* they get to wear t-shirts and baggy jeans* they get all the latest toys to play around with and shiny MacBooks* I hated my last job, looking at developers on TV in these Silicon valley places looks like the dream life* I am a single mother who was given the course for freeThe others, have aptitude but are so inexperienced from their 3 month session that it will take them atleast two years before they can be fully independant engineers.These codecamps are licenses to print money it seems, they charge the students a hefty fee for the course and companies then pay a recruitment fee at the end.Needless to say, I will be leaving my company very soon to go to a place where there is a coding test and filtering to prevent most of these bootcampers from getting in.Yes its snobby, but I didn't study and spend my student loan on my passion just so I can train up a bunch of people looking for the "easy life".
