w1zeman1p··on Ask HN: People who completed a bootcamp 3+ years ago: what are you doing now?
I went through App Academy in 2013, I'm a Developer for a small startup in SF applying some of the skills learned at the bootcamp. I feel like its pretty good prep for super entry level work. Most of my cohort is still employed as software engineers or has been promoted to director / CTO level positions.

w1zeman1p··on Show HN: ServerlessFORM – no back end for a simple form needed
Fair point. My goal was to make something so that static sites that need a simple email or contact form don't need to setup anything serverside.

Waitin years for such a feature!
w1zeman1p··on I have a soul-crushing job and I don't know what to do
I found myself in a very similar situation to you. I was working at a job that I didn't really like and knew that learning Rails was something that, on my own, would take many months to get proficient at before getting good enough to get a job. The way I broke out of my slump was to attend App Academy. I used the opportunity to really dive deep into Rails, and javascript, but also to meet a bunch of really great new people in a new place. (I had some previous web dev experience but no Rails and very little javascript and it was still absurdly useful :))

w1zeman1p··on Ask HN: Is there a Hacker News for investors?
What would the distinction be between content offered on HN vs what investors are looking for?
