These people are going to be competing directly with you for jobs; the net effect of this will be downward pressure on our already flat wages, and probably also lower quality software (due to bootcamp grads being incompetent and only in it for the money). And you think this is great?

Is this bootcamp craze and the overall increased media coverage of 'coding' as an easily learned unskilled trade making anyone else consider a career change? I am pushing 40 and the diminishing earning potential, lack of respect, and relentless ageism are really making me wish I'd done something else.
