Web dev bootcamp vs self taught, I chose wrong
Spent $12k on a 12 week coding bootcamp last year and now I'm 8 months into a job where everything I learned there feels outdated. My buddy taught himself with free YouTube tutorials and landed a better role faster. Why does nobody warn you that the structured path can actually slow you down?

Bootcamps sell speed but teach yesterday's tools.

Haven't most bootcamps shifted to React and Python in the last couple years though? A lot of them update their curriculum way faster than traditional schools do. The real problem is more about depth than old tools.
