Ask HN: Would you ever hire a developer out of a 'coding academy'?

9 pointsryan902 comments

These coding bootcamps are popping up everywhere. Does anybody have experience hiring out of them? Any reasons not to?

Have you seen these earlier discussions?

While there's not any reason not to hire people from something like this, don't assume the person is competent just because they went to a coding academy. Assess these candidates the same as you would anybody else.
