I didn't say it's end all be all and that we know everything now. I was saying it's not an easy task and that it's something to be proud of. Just like setting a goal at work and accomplishing it. Or any other goal in life.
I may not know everything a CS graduate knows right off the bat, but I'll work hard to get to that point.
I acknowledged that we don't know everything and we still have a lot of work to do, so I'm not really sure where you are basing your thought that I'm not
humble enough to understand there are no shortcuts to excellence
here.
Anyways, I know plenty of CS grads who are friends that felt like they struggled entering the workforce because they didn't know how to code and only knew theory. There are strengths and weaknesses to everything. Not every CS degree program is great. Not every bootcamp is great. People aren't perfect. We shouldn't be putting people down for it.
I’m sorry you’re getting this kind of negativity Victoria for, what I thought, was a very inspiring post.
Unfortunately there are going to be people who insist on reminding us that we are less than because of the route we chose to go in life. I want to hope that group of people is a small minority. I don’t need someone tellIng me that what I’ve done is not an accomplishment because they did more. What a horrible thing to say to someone.
The post is inspiring and very well written. Don't let the negativity take that away. What we've accomplished is that, an accomplishment.
I'm choosing to also hope that this is the view of the minority. More and more companies are starting to integrate apprenticeship programs for those with non-traditional backgrounds. If companies are investing time and money to create programs for people like us there is obviously room for us here, as well as people supporting us and rooting for our success.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
