There are many startups in Toronto who have middle managers that are Waterloo graduates and they use CompSci as their qualifier but on-the-job you would never utilize these skills.
Here is what I think is fundamental
❌ Binary Trees
❌ Sorting algorithms/methods
❌ Whiteboarding
❌ Big-O notation
❌ Gitlab and ✅ Git Flow
❌ BEM and modular CSS
🤷 Javascript patterns
❌ Functional Programming
❌ State management
✅ Unit Testing
✅ Test Driven Development
🤷 Style Guides
🤷 Virtual machines and containerization
🤷 Web sockets/Web hooks
I definitely could produce a list of what is missing with the Toronto Bootcamps and what the Toronto tech market really wants as fundamental skills

fundamental skillsDoes the ❌ mean fundamental or nah?
I've done about a dozen interviews and had 2 entry level jobs... the bar is all over the place 🤷
It seems like having experience with OSS is also a good look.
But maybe first, I should pass the test.
❌ means you don't need it.
