when theres an attractive woman around, watch the boys producitivity increase. works like a charm

You are 'that guy' and you're an idiot for being so: you're jusy looking for a different reason to discredit others instead of just asking about different types of people without tearing others down.

I'm female and very jealous of her nice face and pleasant demeanour... But even if I am not as pleasing to look at, I don't think I'll have a problem getting into tech. Even if I'm bad at coding XD

So long as you don't ban anyone else.

I was raised by women and my bestfriends growing up were women, successful cousins with PhDs. It always sounded odd to me getting into the dev world that women face setbacks. I was always told STEM, PhD, etc is for women and men should be blue collar digging holes or something.

What negative voices? Idiotic gaslighters like you are the reason no one takes the topic seriously.

if you're not doing it strictly for financial reason, id say give it your 150%. But if you are pressed on money or you can't go at anywhere from 6 months to a year without earning a paycheck, dont pull the trigger yet and learn on your own until you are a little bit more financially set to attend a bootcamp.

Thanks so much for the reply. So yes me and the wife have sat down made a financial plan and I’ve narrowed it down I think to between app academy and springboard i know they aren’t the complete journey but I feel like they are a good place to start. Thanks again for the reply!

@@ygg2254 have you been doing self studying?

Yes and definitely yes.

Me too!!

Primegen spoke on this issue too, I agree with his analysis and suggestion on the matter. He thinks something like a 2 year practical software engineering trade school program would be perfect and I too thought about this before where you have far more time to apply knowledge with some theory to solving real-world problems and diving into bigger codebases and building features, then debugging in real time, CI/CD, version control, etc. Bootcamps lack of real time investment and narrow technology pathways are the glaring weaknesses among others, the intensity you're put through means it's quite hard to retain deep knowledge in what you're usually given. If you want to become an electrician, you can go to a 2 - 3 year trade school for it and get required licenses by the state you're operating in or get a degree in electrical engineering and do the same (and do things beyond the understanding and capability of electrical engineers who mostly know the practical side with less internal understanding). Yet bootcamps exist where you can become a "software engineer" that pays more than typical electrical engineering roles in 1/8th the time it would take to get a CE/CS degree or 1/4th the time it would take to complete a traditional trade program (that's considering it runs for 6 months, don't get me started on 3 months programs). Just given such a disparity in time and effort applied to mastering one's craft and forming a solid body of knowledge would make employers question how prepared can people be flocking from these programs.
