6 Cert Brehs Where ya'll at? Ex google engineer tells people to not to learn to code.

Why when there are cheaper alternatives?

like??

Probably put that video out to discourage future coders from taking his gig years from now because hes making too much.

Hire new blood at a lower salary.

Nope, I’m not but I think you’re over estimating the difficulty of basic algorithms. You really think the average code camp graduate would have trouble learning binary search algorithms?

The average code camp graduate doesn't even code outside of the bootcamp, so I say yes they would have trouble.

Why not go to a university and major in computer science? Why shortcut?

That's not shortcutting.

Your opinion is horrible

They wouldn't have trouble learning anything if they can graduate from a code bootcamp. At least not any more trouble than anything else that's valuable to learn. You overestimate the intelligence level required

Are you Matt Damon's character from Good Will Hunting? Very few people can teach themselves data structures and algorithms.

You meet for class for 3 hours a week. Most learning is going to be on your own anyway. At my school most of the CompSci professors have sucked so far and I've learned more from youtubers and Harvard/MIT/Stanford videos. The Classroom is basically just a place to test my knowledge at this point

 

[Voice of Reason]

like??

Certs or online courses. Obviously there is still a need for computer science degrees for the very top positions.

 

[Software]

OP you're not bright are you?
The whole video is a joke using dry humor

Can we have a mod close this thread please?

 

[KingTut]

If you watch the entire video, he's being completely sarcastic.

 

[ba'al]

Just stole this shyt from Boxden to be honest, didn't even watch this monkey shyt before I posted it. I should've though thought he was going to be talking some real shyt.

OP you're not bright are you?

but thread doing numbers sort of so idc.

Checkout this remix i did though while ya'll nikkas in here

It is shortcutting.

A bootcamp graduate would need to teach themselves discrete mathematics to understand why many algorithms work as well as for analyzing them. Discrete mathematics and algorithms are boring subjects... No way is somebody teaching themselves that unless they are an autodidact like the good will hunting kid. Universities work because assignments, exams, and student loans forces you to keep going.

If a self-taught programmer runs into an algorithm or data structure she didn't read or hear about, the college-educated software dev will run circles around them. People with formal CS education tend to significantly outperform those without it. And this is because they're just exposed to tougher problems than the regular CRUD stuff a self-taught programmer would probably limit themselves to.

That would make you the exception.. friendo.
