The New York Times has coverage on the phenomenon of Developer Bootcamps, that claim to do in a matter of a couple of months what used to take at least a couple of years for an associate's degree. These cram courses are apparently getting about a 75% job placement rate.
Have any Soylentils either gone through these programs, or worked with others who have? If so, what are your experiences?

Who else is going to fix all the fuckups?
The consulting group in india. They have years of experience doing exactly that. They just dont tell you they have no one that has years of experience doing it but the company does!
I did not know how bad it was until I had to 'mange a group from india'. We hired 5 people for 20k. Out of that 5 maybe 1 or 2 were any good. I could flip out the crappy ones for better ones until I had a decent crew. 20K... That is what you are competing against.
