Does anyone have a hiring manager's perspective on coding bootcamps? A friend is interested in attending one, and I have no idea how to help him assess them. (reddit = too much promo, coursereport = product placement). What's the inside scoop on which schools are the best?

An eng manager friend whose opinion I trust on this put it this way — “bootcampers are like plumbers, they can fix the piping system but can’t build it. But it’s a good start and if they’re motivated and continue to put in the work they *can* become great ” Just one opinion!

yeah for sure... at this point in life a bootcamp is probably his best option though so just trying to help him whittle down the field of choices
