Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code
IllNess@infosec.pub 2 weeks agoThis is exactly right.
I was guilty of copy and pasting from Stack Exchange to meet deadlines.
The only thing I would add is complaining that colleges don’t really teach coding for the real world and all boot camps are a waste of time and money unless that’s the most effective way you can learn.

In reality, coding is something you can learn on your own… or not. Colleges are good for teaching computing science and architectural design, but the good ones will assume you already know how to code. The problem of course, is that when you graduate you are unlikely to find a job as a computer scientist or software architect, and will most likely need to spend 5+ years as a junior programmer first.
