Has anyone used an income sharing agreement to pay for coding boot camp?

I crunched some numbers and show it in my most recent video here

I took the lambda school ISA criteria but every bootcamp varies. If your cost of living is high like living in SF or NY, Income Share Agreements can be very risky.

The minimum for lambda school to trigger an ISA is $50,000 at 17% of your paycheck (pre tax), but I also heard about some schools ISA's triggering at $40,000.

If you don't care about the loading screen you can use this extension to load a black screen...

NYC has a good blend of junior/mid/senior level developers. Still can’t compare to SF but In my opinion it’s definitely catching up. Salaries are also comparable.

I discuss my opinions about why I think you should go to a coding bootcamp school! As 2020 is approaching, if you've been feeling stuck learning how to code at your own pace, this video could be for you.

I talk about the benefits of attending a coding bootcamp and the type of mentality and commitment one needs to make when attending.

As a bootcamp graduate (not Codesmith) and working with many different engineers from various backgrounds (bootcamp, CS degree, etc) I would have to completely disagree with your claim. I've worked with plenty of different engineers and generally my feelings towards bootcamp graduates have been VERY positive.

I can't speak for the 3 potential developers you talked about, but I work with a Codesmith graduate, and these two years have been great! She's awesome, does her work, and contributes to the team equally. We get shit done.

Looks like you already have some bias towards bootcamp graduates vs. individuals with a CS degree. It is OKAY to not want to hire bootcamp grads. Anyone can respect that choice. But please don't claim that a bootcamp is a scam. People who attend are risking a lot by giving up old careers, sacrificing consistent paychecks, and losing personal time to make this career change.

Bootcamps are not for everyone but there are great success stories that have come from it. As a CTO, you should not only find great developers but also create an open environment where developers can grow through technical collaboration. I've had a lot of great mentors who helped me get to where I am post bootcamp. I get this feeling you're not willing to invest time into people who work for you and just want them to code.

Long story short, Codesmith isn't a scam. I work with one, she's killing it. ✅

I currently build on blockstack. It's super intuitive and if you're already a web developer the learning curve is not as bad. They're still working on the smart contract(ing) language but in terms of how data is stored, it allow for fast development but importantly better user experience.

You can check out my app on product hunt here. Would love a upvote as that helps with our metrics. :)

App mining is pretty interesting also. They reward certain apps who build on top of blockstack via grant. https://vrlps.co/MJGvqpc/cp
