      Sometimes students send me curricula from their former code bootcamps. Some of these are so, so bad. Six months for literally Lambda School’s pre course work. They should be shut down.

      Students pay $10-$15k, spend months, and can’t come close to writing fizzbuzz.

      The craziest part of all is that some get jobs. Poor hiring companies. Poor senior developers responsible for training these juniors that know next to nothing. It’s a scam.

      No wonder people are so anti code bootcamps. I can’t even begin to describe how bad these are.

          Do you think the industry is due for some regulation or accreditation?

          http://cirr.org  is close-ish, but based on getting jobs. Accreditation requires someone to trust the accrediting body

          ABET accredits virtually every professional engineering 2 and 4 year degree program in the country. It’s very old school though - quite serious about math, science fundamentals. They’d likely need to create a separate accreditation for something like this. http://www.abet.org/accreditation/

          That's why I talked my friend's son out of going to dev mtn and doing Lambda School instead

          Yup. He calls me one day and says "is this a good choice? Can you talk my son out of it?", I did

          Can you suggest coding boot camps that are good? I can't qualify for Lambda yet because I'm not a US resident.

          You can if you pay some amount up front

          Yes. It's a bit expensive, though. I guess CS education just is. Thinking of investing in it and changing careers.
