TIL that there are only interns and people with 10+ years of experience.
TIL I can become a surgeon with a 3 months bootcamp
I'm not arguing that someone with a 3 month bootcamp is going to be a highly-qualified, productive software developer. But 10+ years to get to a productive state? That's not my experience, and I don't think that's because all the work I've ever been exposed to is "intern-level".
It's still work and needs done. How do you expect someone to get "25 years of experience" without giving them work to do?
