What about SWE bootcamp as an option?

If the eventual goal is to move abroad and work remotely, How wise of an option is this?

Because you can’t work remotely as a vet or concert pianist in a country of your choice.

Why is this dumb, vile piece of shit still on this board?

I don't know anything about SWE bootcamps, but presumably they teach you to fight sexism and white supremacy, and teach you to write the ugliest, most complicated, most depraved code possible.  Since these are the requirements of modern programming, this may have value in getting a programming job.  But personally, I would rather be a chicken farmer than do this.

Why would this be any less ridiculous than doing a "bootcamp" to become a veterinary surgeon, concert pianist or any other professional?

I think you misunderstand the modern requirements for professionals.  Of course there is no longer any requirement to be good at any skill.  The main requirement is to be as woke as possible and to parrot the current ideology of the profession.  And bootcamps may be able to teach this.

It seems so obvious now. Lure you with the promise of a big paycheck, and then get you in their hooks. No wonder bootcamps are heavily promoted on YT, Reddit, etc.

I actually looked into becoming a chicken farmer, but decided I wasn’t cut out for manual farm labor.

The reality is that without a skill, you can’t earn money. If being a programmer is no less ridiculous than being any other skilled professional, then you might as well cash in and become a programmer anyway.  After all, what’s the diff?

That all sounds fine, but that option is no longer available for a lot of people. As a practical matter, it really isn’t worth considering, especially for those past the teenage years. Presumably, one would go through a kind of apprenticeship or entry-level roles anyway, as a SWE or whatever.

Oh, shut up. You have nothing to say, and no one cares what you think.
