At this point it's pretty well known bootcamps are not a great hiring pipeline. Unless you can get "grads" at a significant discount. There's a reason Lambda is so desperate that they will "loan" you someone for a month at no costs (the VCs pay for it!). [0]

That is probably very bootcamp-dependent, I've found bootcamp grads have been very good. In particular, the fact that most grads have had "real jobs" elsewhere mean that they have good people skills/time management/actual sense of "getting things done" that vastly outweighs the skill imbalance.

Hell of a lot easier to increase someone's React knowledge than it is to, like, fix how they interact with people.

Which one? What was comp like for these new hires?

Oh wow, “100+ of our US-based engineers have been hired just this year?” That’s significantly lower than you’d expect.
