&gt; Having said that no bootcamp or hacker school can give you 20 years of experience writing and maintaining software. That&#x27;s really the disavdantage.<p>I can&#x27;t see how that makes it a disadvantage. The only thing that gives 20 years of experience writing and maintaining software is... well, 20 years doing just that. No one is claiming that a university, bootcamp, or hacker school can give you that.
