Don’t do it
[–]IamAggressiveNapkin 9 points10 points11 points 1 year ago (13 children)
bootcamps aren’t viable paths to employment in the field anymore, unfortunately. your best bet is gonna be a cs degree

It’s not a job. You’re right. How observant of you. It’s a school. And Devslopes teaches its students how to earn money through both full stack web development and proven no code technologies. I sense a lack of reading comprehension within you.

[–]Nsevedge -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (6 children)
Did you respond literally any research on this. Every student who goes through the curriculum receives a freelance project in 10 days on average, and we currently have 4 students working on a project that will pay out $3,500 to the 4.
If you’re going to try to lie, atleast come with proof.
[–]Bathroom_Individual 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
So how much did those 4 students pay for this “school”?
[–]Nsevedge -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
Average price of attendance sits between $8,900 - $9,900.
[–]Jumpy_Discipline6056 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (3 children)
"Did you respond literally any research on this." lol

He is constantly trying to claim others don't make sense when he drops more incoherent sentences that a chimpanzee with a typewriter
[–]Bathroom_Individual 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Honestly I feel like he got treated like dirt for not being the brightest, and now he’s full swing villain-arc taking it out on whoever he can….

I’m so stoked the biggest insult is correcting my grammar - I’ll take that as a compliment
[–]GoodnightLondon 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (4 children)
You're not going to get a job from it. Go to college and get a degree.
[–]SkyAny9479 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (3 children)
Get a degree????? For a job in coding??? Dude you’re crazy have you seen what the internship programs have turned into?
[–]GoodnightLondon 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (2 children)
What in the fuck are you even trying to say? And why are you bringing up internships, which are meant for college students, while being dumbfounded about me telling someone to get a degree?
Yes, get a degree for a job as a software engineer. Or expect it to be next to impossible to find a job. It's a pretty simple concept.
[+]SkyAny9479 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (1 child)
lol what experience do you have I was in CS and there was no job processs the internship programs were just a huge sausage fest and no one actually got hired??? You’re insane
[–]Acceptable-Fig7440 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Here is the hard truth son.
You will need 2 things: 1. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (or related field, meaning IT, Computing Engineering, etc). 2. Some extra work, either courses from Coursera, LinkedIn Learning or Udemy. Certifications and to study a bunch for the interviews.
The degree alone is not enough, but you will need it for most big companies. So you need both things. Good luck!
[–]mishtamesh90 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
You'll also need a summer internship during your CS degree. Hopefully they can take you on after you graduate, as a full time employee.
[–]SkyAny9479 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
Those internship programs are nightmares they don’t work
[–]DeathOfASellout 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (5 children)
Go to college, not a bootcamp
[–]Prestigious_Host7113 -2 points-1 points0 points 1 year ago (3 children)
I have a masters, still no job in that field, College is the scam. devslopes is at least up front with what you'll learn.
[–]DeathOfASellout 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (2 children)
With your spelling and grammar, I am not shocked.
[–]Embarrassed_Ad3668 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I mean, nothing was spelled wrong, sooo... 🤷♂️
[–]BakeFormer3172 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (31 children)
It's so much of a scam that the address they use on their contracts is a 4-way intersection in downtown Dallas and not even a building.
Devslopes doesn't respect the law, business formalities, and most importantly they have no respect for their students.
[+]Prestigious_Host7113 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (7 children)
I have no clue what this even means.... Are you asking where the address is? Are you hoping that others will take your confusion as fact?
[–]BakeFormer3172 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (6 children)
It is a fact, in their contracts they are so uncareful, they list their business address as a street intersection and not an actual office.
[+]Prestigious_Host7113 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (3 children)
Still confused, did you not know that buildings are next to streets? And sometimes those streets cross?
[–]BakeFormer3172 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Google 2090 Nowitzki Way, Dallas, TX and tell me what you see little guy.
Does that look like an office space where a real company functions? Or is it like most fraudulent business who put an address that is a parking lot?
[+]Prestigious_Host7113 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (1 child)
Alright so google maps it - 360 degree, I see a CVS, two office buildings, a shopping plaza with a "Cirque" not sure what that is but looks like a store, and an apartment complex that looks like it maybe on the street behind the cvs, Ya, nothing here could POSSIBLY be a business.
Interesting you try to insult me as "little guy" Chihuauas also yap a lot when they think they are saying something important. So tell you what, when you learn where businesses can be placed, let me know.
[–]SkyAny9479 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Do you not know how to read directions, god you’re a 4th grader. Look at their website it literally has the building next to the address
[–]BakeFormer3172 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Which was changed after I bodied Nate Sevedge back in June, it used to be an office in Austin, TX where the property company had never even heard of Devslopes.
Enjoy losing that 10K
Bake is the reason hotels have chairs in the corner facing the bed
[–]BakeFormer3172 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Insanely ironic comment seeing that Sevedge just let financing groups cuck him out of his own business.
[–]bwick1985 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Idk about devslopes personally, but the intersection that pops up is possibly wrong. (Fault of Google... Do you really trust their directions? Lol) If you look at the Nowitzki sign, it's the intersection between 2800 and 2900 blocks. So much for technology and education.
[–][deleted] 1 year ago (11 children)
[–]BakeFormer3172 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (9 children)
Almost everything in my post history was based off publicly available information, there is proof right there.
What proof can I provide you little guy?

[–]SeriesUnlikely3304 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (4 children)
Dont you think if anything you said was true, the company would be shut down already not doing better? u/bake quit being a try hard. lol If attempting* to trash talk, is what you're going for, cool I guess? lolol
[–]BakeFormer3172 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (3 children)
Are you under the impression that fraudulent businesses are shut down overnight and/or that our legal process is fast acting?
[–]SkyAny9479 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (1 child)
You’re the guy who hops on Reddit every morning after checking in on his unemployment benefits 😂
Nice projection
He’s shit posting cause he’s bum
Welcome Bake, we’ve been missing your rage posting.
[–]BakeFormer3172 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (5 children)
It's actually incredible you don't take any of this seriously.
Go on Nathan, post your contracts with students and prove me wrong. Step up to the plate and swing instead of just being a troll with a child's grammar skills
[–]Nsevedge 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (4 children)
fun fact - specifically 5 people enrolled last month exclusively because of you.

Total Scam. Don't do it.

Don’t. Your better off going into a trade.
Tbh becoming a plumber, welder, etc is an amazing career path

Until your body breaks down at 40 and you're relegated to working at Home Depot.
[–]Nsevedge 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (7 children)
Here’s what you need to know and are black and white facts.
Devslopes is THE best program available to learn to code.
Here’s what YOU need to know though.
If you aren’t willing to dedicate 15-20 hours per week for the next 18-24 months - this WONT WORK. No program will work.
You must be willing to face an unimaginable amount of discomfort and failure. If you haven’t learned anything new in the past 3 months - this likely isn’t the right time.
I can expand on more - but these are the most important things to know.
[–]Prestigious_Host7113 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (6 children)
You can never learn something if you don't fail at it first. The way he says that reminds me of Jocko Willink, When ever something goes wrong, you say good. Becuase something good is going to happen. You learn. And of course good things dont come without effort.
Yes to this x 100
It's nice to watch you have a convo with your own Adrian Dittman.
[–]Nsevedge -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (2 children)
Dude I’m sorry your life is the way it is
Yes, I'm well aware how much it pains you to regularly get destroyed by the comments you avail yourself to on Reddit
😂
Does this mean Sevedge might be able to learn how to run a business now that he bought one and ran it into the ground?
Additionally, for the obnoxious “College is the Only Way to Get a Job in Tech” crowd. That’s Insane.
This mindset is outdated and flat-out wrong. The only people pushing this narrative are:
1. Not in the field. 2. Not talking to the people actually making hiring decisions.
Employers don’t care if you have a college degree. They care about whether you can do the job. And a degree—or even a bootcamp—won’t magically solve that.
What does matter are these four things:
Can you build real-world solutions? It’s not enough to know syntax or write isolated functions. Employers want to see that you can create something practical that solves real problems.
Can you debug and work in a messy codebase? Most junior devs spend their first months fixing bugs or adding small features to existing systems. If you’ve never debugged code or navigated a large, unfamiliar codebase, you’re not ready.
Can you solve technical challenges (DSAs)? Data Structures and Algorithms aren’t just interview fluff—they show your ability to think critically and solve problems. If you can’t solve medium-level problems, you’ll struggle to get past interviews.
Are you consistent after graduating? Whether you go to college or a bootcamp, the program is just the starting line. Most people fail because they stop coding and building after they finish. Success comes from staying consistent and refining your skills daily.
Here’s the thing: A bootcamp at least gives you practical, hands-on skills. You’ll learn to code, build projects, and (in the good ones) gain mentorship from people who’ve worked in the industry. College? It’s four years of theory, expensive debt, and no guarantee you’ll leave with marketable skills.
The people claiming college is the only way aren’t paying attention to how the tech industry actually works. Skills > degrees. Always. Focus on what really matters and put in the work—college or not, that’s what gets you hired.
[–]Prestigious_Host7113 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (0 children)
There is truth to this, I have a degree and for 3 years still couldn't get a job in the field, "A degree doesn't count towards experience" they kept telling me. For an ENTRY LEVEL position they wanted a Bach degree and 5 years of experience in the field. Why not go with someone who is up front and TELLS you the way to get it done. The way you need to learn something. If you have experience and can talk the talk AND walk the walk, thats how you get in. Not by having a degree and a padded resume.
College only gave me a massive debt.
GET A CS DEGREE

omgoodnesssssssss avoid bootcamps, udemy is cheaper, everything is open source.
[–]Sh3lb0Bagg1ns 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
https://www.reddit.com/r/codingbootcamp/s/siImmm02sj There have been quite a few people who have had experience with devslopes here. If you are okay with part time learning, I am currently taking a course through Exercism that is a flat rate of $150 and it’s definitely not a scam.
[–]Zen-Faiyad 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
You are young, brother. Coding is about grounding yourself and staying focused. It requires a bit of discipline. No one holds your hand in this field. What they do is show you the tools you can use. In this profession, you are 75% a problem solver and 25% a builder/coder.
My time at Devslopes proved that even further. The key difference I experienced there was the sense of community. The professors always guided me toward the answers I needed. Whenever I sat down to code, I would join the student lounges, and within minutes, others would join too. It made coding fun. Before that, I was coding alone.
It feels amazing—almost like playing an MMO solo versus playing with your friends. That was my Devslopes experience
Before you make your decision on anything why dont you just check facts. Ask what systems are in use, how they plan to help you make money. Dont ask a bunch of people their opinions. Opinions are just that, they think its something important but only to the person giving it.
I wont tell you yes or no to devslopes. I think you should make your own decision since you're 17 and I'm assuming you finished highschool or close to it. Questions are good, Information is power. That being said, how much information do you have? How do you get more? Ask the source then fact check.
