As a relatively recent bootcamp grad who hasn't written a review, here are my excuses/hypotheses for others who haven't: a) simple laziness. A good review takes time and thought to write, and the time isn't necessarily in the writing the review, but in processing the experience after graduation. By the time you have a more balanced (ie, graduated, employed/unemployed) perspective, you've probably moved on to other things. b) in my case, it's mostly due to general ambivalence about the experience. There were things I liked, things I thought weren't done well, and the overall effect is to cancel each other out. Ambivalence doesn't encourage taking the time (see above) to write down thoughts the way more extreme positive or negative views do. c) also specific to me: I genuinely liked the instructors and most of my cohort, and writing anything negative seems impolite - not wanting to hurt someone's feelings or seem ungrateful. Irrational, but there ya go. |

I was reading Aziz Ansari's Modern Romance. In each of his shows for a tour, he polled the audience with two questions.
How should you let a person who is interested in you know you aren't interested in them: Pretend to be busy, say nothing, or be honest?
Overwhelmingly, most people practice the "pretend to be busy" and "say nothing" methods. Only a small sliver of the audience would say they were honest.
He then asked the audience to pretend the situation is reversed. Someone else is dealing with you. How do you prefer they handle the situation?
Overwhelmingly, the audience responded (with applauds) that they'd prefer the honest approach.
