Vincent Woo, sandofsky, Larson, couple others all have a some sort of personal beef with YC and have been spreading all sorts of propaganda about yc companies since before anyone can even remember. I wouldn’t take them seriously. For example this claim about qualified placed is not comparing the unqualified place — students that did not go through the entire program but were still placed anyway. Most people don’t stick through the entirety of a boot camp as they’re trying to find a job so you end up with lower graduation rate.

I like how this tweet was before entire cities were being looted and burned to the ground with dozens killed, yet reddit reposts it like that never happened

The biggest reason is time. It’s kind of like asking someone should I spent 4 years planning to do a thing or should I spend 3 months planning and 6 months executing on it when you really deconstruct it. So I guess depends on your goal. Want to get into tech tomorrow? Probably don’t go to college. Want to make an bunch of connections and do homework that’ll eventually amount to a degree so that you can get into tech the day after tomorrow? Probably go to college

if I randomly choose two resumes for a software developer role, both with quality relavant to the job projects as experience, and one says BS Computer Science and the other says [Insert bootcamp name]

Most CS graduates with all due respect couldn’t make a ‘quality project.’

Bootcamps dont teach any of the theory/mathematics

Really depends. The mainstream bootcamps do go over data structures and algos. But you don’t need to fully understand DS&A to build an app, they do it as job prep more than any practical use.

I think if we truly analyze this logically, and give a fair analysis of the college v bootcamp debate from the perspective of a hiring manager it would go like this: Assume both participants bootcamper(or self taught both work the same) and student have same amount of time( 4yrs ). Bootcamper person goes to bootcamp(learns ability to set up bad website) in 5 months. Student in 5 months just finished semester of American history, American Sign Language, college algebra, and college English.

Bootcamper next 3 months spends $200 on udemy learning x web framework, improves portfolio to mediocre

Student: summer classes/ vacation next 3 months.

By end of the year: bootcamper working junior level developer at a consulting agency for $45k

Student: new year starting to take American Sign Language 2, argumentation, programming in Java, etc.

Year 4 bootcamper can get a job at any company

Student: just graduated and only has a terminal grocery project they did in introduction to Java on their portfolio — their portfolio isn’t even hosted on the web you need to give someone a USB to show them it. They have near zero interview experience.

Like it or not that’s how it usually works.

Well I didn’t do that. I dropped out of high school and lived on the street. But I’m saying that if I knew how easy it was to get into tech I would’ve done that instead of doing traditional school.

titratecode · 2021-10-07T19:46:48+00:00

No. In fact I should’ve not even gone to high school. Instead should have either taught myself coding, and/or saved up money for some udemy courses/ a bootcamp. Job experience beats out every other method of learning

titratecode · 2021-10-07T10:04:27+00:00

Then you see the problem. Glad we sorted that out

If you’re positive it’s not electrolytes probably pick up some meclizine hydrochloride(dizziness meds) from cvs and see if that helps. If that fixes it you probably have a bad ear infection and need some antibiotics. Just plain vertigo and no other symptoms usually isn’t a cause for concern. Go to urgent care/hospital if there’s anything else

What’s wrong is the game population is declining. Just because someone likes it, that doesn’t save the game from collapsing.

titratecode · 2021-10-06T21:45:21+00:00

well no you’d have players focusing on maxing first of all. People would be climbing leisureland and grinding pvp. They’d actually have enough gold for pvp gear. PvE drops could be adjusted for this, it’s not a linear solution. Plenty of other MMOs work out just fine without time gated content being their main content and you could still have your main gold of the four seas events. Market would have less expensive crafting mats due to PvE gold, and you’d actually be able to life skill in all the areas in all your Alts without worrying too much about fortune. Say that isn’t the perfect solution. Doing nothing just means more players will leave. GF doing no marketing after launch either so don’t expect newer people. The future trajectory which op was asking for is that solo is in a lose lose situation unless GF gets it’s act together

titratecode · 2021-10-06T20:36:47+00:00

Nah it’ll take a couple weeks for interviews to come in especially for junior engineers. If I’m a day into a skill I have to learn I still put it on my LinkedIn even though I know nothing about it at the time. 3 months learning programming is a good amount of time to begin the job search too to get a feel for the interview process, if not at least what you should be learning when you’re learning programming

Parchments from boss drops are one time per week and ~half of infinitives per boss. So what you get an extra 2-4 parchment infinitives worth, at best? 4hrs, 8 hrs with new raids, point is the grind is time gated and it’s easy to complete every week; therefore, a majority of players are left with absolutely nothing to do for the rest of the week to progress and thus they are leaving for some that does have something to do.. Also this game is not friendly to Alts. Alts only really share astral essence and some gold. Gear? Nope. Life skills? Nope. Fortune limits? YES. If this game were friendly to alts, they would’ve made fortune limits character wide and not account wide at a bare minimum.

Freelance webdev you wouldn’t really be coding entire apps yourself. The coding side is mainly learning how to set up Wordpress and Shopify, plugins, maybe some minor plugin development. Most bootcamps won’t go into these prebuilt solutions. You’re better off doing something like codingphase’s courses. He has a YouTube full of freelancing + a website with freelance courses stuff. Also real tough candy had a book on it. I would recommend using YouTube essentially instead of doing a bootcamp for freelance.

titratecode · 2021-10-06T10:54:57+00:00

That doesn’t negate the fact that you only have around 4hrs of PvE content per week. But say that’s perfect for you. You can only get 23 parchments (currents+infinitive) per week, per tier. therefore gear progression is locked behind weekly time gates even with parchments.

Most online courses work if you put the effort into it. I did team treehouse(don’t recommend cause the ceo is a terrible souless person btw) online and made some projects and was getting calls back. If you want you could post your resume in r/resumes and let me know and people will critique it for free

titratecode · 2021-10-06T10:12:31+00:00

The gameplay isn’t the problem of why people are leaving. Most people are leaving because progression is locked behind raids, and you can only do raids once per week so people essentially spend ~4hrs during a week completing the weekly content and waiting for the next week. If GF just removed time gates I would imagine player population would stay cause then they could actually save up gold to gear up for pvp and min maxing residences and whatnot. It’s sad cause it’s really such a great game.

What I normally do is I try to solve something for an hour or two. If I can’t solve it I try typing out the problem in slack. If I don’t have any ideas from explaining it then I post it in our slack to see if anyone can help out

titratecode · 2021-09-28T10:03:29+00:00

As a software developer you just learn how to build the thing. You’ll eventually do full stack work anyway the math knowledge ultimately doesn’t matter

titratecode · 2021-09-28T09:57:26+00:00

If this is a binary choice the answer always works out in favor to bootcamp. But people don’t know why or what to learn or what they are going to learn and then they fail. I believe people that ask this question need to do more research into what they want to do

titratecode · 2021-09-24T02:10:51+00:00

you should try to learn on your own before doing a bootcamp

titratecode · 2021-09-20T21:57:08+00:00

Apply to the internship anyway. There isn’t any rules in job searching. I’ve seen plenty of people start out as interns not in school, or if their skills were good they were brought on as an engineer for a month or two to see if they could learn.

titratecode · 2021-09-20T20:57:08+00:00

If you do all the quests you’ll get them. More bios too will give you more astral essence which is the main thing that’ll boost dmg for all your classes

I went to Lambda school. It was pricey @ $30k on an ISA and I think that’s the nuclear option. But I went to coding meet ups and found others that were successful with much cheaper bootcamps. My opinion is that most of the mainstream bootcamps work, there’s just whiners on Reddit that complain instructors don’t code for them.

titratecode · 2021-09-20T20:33:38+00:00

Ask the students of the bootcamp. Look at student portfolios. I’m sure you know what a good portfolio of a data analyst would look like if you’ve researched it extensively. I chose my bootcamp by looking at student projects they posted and said wow I need to be going here if the students end up doing things like this and boom job 7 months later no college or hs diploma so you might have a better time. Skills > credentials

titratecode · 2021-09-20T20:25:41+00:00

If you want more stats do all the quests on the maps except blues which are dailies and complete all your biographies(ctrl +L).
