Will from codesmith is a legend.

I'm loving the dynamic between fullstack guy and English dude. They're interactions and responses are great.

Thank you for this video 👍

I think you all are thinking too much into it. The main thing we need to take away from this video, is put in a little bit of work to make sure the tech field is right for you and that you can handle new things that may be difficult. I watched this video thinking I was going to apply to flat iron or hack reactor but I'm honestly impressed with codesmith. The fact that this man really is not out here trying to promote the school by using empty promises that are typically advertised, is pretty cool to me. He's blunt and is giving the real.

I'm trying to go to a bootcamp. I own about 28 high quality courses on udemy and have a skillshare subscription. I watch youtube videos all the time on software engineering and programming as well. I have my army gi bill so they'll pay for my housing while I'm in school. I already have money saved. This way I can quit my job and devote full time and THEN some to getting caught up to speed quickly, build a very nice portfolio, and ensure that I not only have the ability to get into an entry level position but that I actually know what I'm doing almost at an intermediate level. That's my goal.. My goal isn't to be just barely good enough to land a job in software engineering. Being actually passionate about it already helps. Having done it in the past for years as a hobby helps and I already know it's something I'm passionate about. I've actually developed for WordPress professionally in the past. I'm decent with python, I know css, I know some Javascript already. I'm working on getting my resources together for my application and hopefully I can get it submitted this weekend.

Hi all - more info about my Codesmith experience on my channel, cheers

So, you’re saying that people with no experience shouldn’t waste you’re schools time. Most people are coming to you with no experience

Let’s be honest here. Full stack, hack reactor and somewhat flat iron school is the only 3 bootcamp worth it. Hence the only three who answered applicants acceptance rate.

Missed General Assembly

i want a hack reactor tshirt

Im 31 and married but I feel im 61 years old, do you think I can do bootcamp? 😑👨🏻‍🦳

It's funny, I was just reading advice from a screener of admission essays to university applicants, "Please don't mention your 'passion for medicine' " (or coding). It's so cliché and meaningless. Everybody says it, and we should assume you have a passion or wouldn't apply. You should still talk about what led you to embrace whatever you're doing, sure, but don't use that hackneyed phrase. I had a boss who urged us to put our ''passion for [our industry]' on our personal websites, and I always blanched at the thought. My clients were much more interested in whether I'd save them money or be around to take their phone calls. It makes me wonder how long these guys have been in the business that they're still using that phrase.

I ain’t quitting my job for the damn program. Lmfao

wait ain't they admit anybody, as long as you pay ?

So... to summarize: we want students who already knows how to code. We don’t want to deal with noobs. We want to only take in people who already self-sufficient to get a coding job on their own. Take their money, give them project to work on, then we claim their hard work as our own unparalleled success. Speak like every tech company nowadays ever.

"We don't claim to prepare you for any other hack reactor other than hack reactor." Ugh.

First

the word, "passion" is so overused. People who are "passionate" about coding don't go to bootcamps; they do it on their own. People who take the bootcamp route do it ONLY to get a job at the end of it. So these people just want people to make up stories about passion.
