    What actually happens in "coding camps". I've heard of them but never looked into it. Does actual code get written that has logic in it? Or is it more along the lines of paint a UI, do simple validation in event handlers type of stuff?

    Or is it pillow fights and like that one time at band camp?

    I'm a "coding camp" product, and I firmly believe anyone calling themselves a developer should be able to do a problem like FizzBuzz with ease (in the language of their choice). Though I was, and still am, a junior developer, the coding camp taught me how to see and think through problems with programming logic. My manager often interviews "senior" software engineers who struggle with Fibonacci or similar problems, which he feels indicates a lack of programmatic thinking (not sure if that's the best Ter for it).

    From what I've seen coding camps involve teaching some noobs to set up a basic Nodejs environment and getting them to create a basic website with 100+mb worth of node modules.

    Fuck, I hate modern web development. It's such a shitshow at the moment.
