- Just beware
- Bootcamps suffer from lack of any regulation
- Showing up universities causing them to step-it-up
- Colleges cannot provide bootcamps
- Colleges cannot find the people
- Bootcamps have morphed and are selling to colleges
- Can be really great or “tragic”
- Avoid anything from Trinity (under the hood)
- Challenge-based / gamified learning has flaws
- Do something like https://exercism.io
- What happens when you don’t have their platform?
- These services don’t let you figure it out
- You have to learn how to learn while getting the skill
- Always better to work to figure out a given task on your own
