The implication being bootcamp grads can't into software engineering?

The implication is that good developers don’t need bootcamps as much as potential product managers need them for crash courses on development fundamentals. I’ve lived this personally as an actual founder of a non profit dev bootcamp.

How do you manage anyone with that level of lack of self awareness? Yea, of course prospective product managers will go to bootcamps to learn the technicals.

And why would "good developers" go to a bootcamp? That would defeat the entire purpose.

Think smarter.

And if you actually think coding bootcamps don't work, just take a fking look at the alumni...

Can you explain this to me?

You must have a big product team, or hire barely any bootcamp grads.

at the time I had 15 product managers, five of which had come to me as entry level developers out of Flat Iron and some course in Boston I can’t remember the name of. I had a Ruby dev bootcamp grad switch to my finance team as controller (he was also a CPA). He manages timber leases now.
