Going to second this. I'm a self-taught (non-bootcamp) dev who's making a serious webapp (without the quotes). It's serious in the sense that it's a real product of a real company (my own) on track to make real money from real customers.

If you won't take that seriously, then what?

> on track to make real money from real customers

I'm sorry but to inject a dose of reality, that's a very low bar.

Can you elaborate what would constitute high bar? Another Google or Facebook? Or maybe hadron collider? Why does making money mean low bar to you?

The guy is making a web app which other people want to pay for, looks like just about the right height for a bar, and I'd say not low at all.

I know technologies A, B, and C well-enough to use them to make a thing that is good enough for people to pay money for, i.e., not a bootcamp copy-paste thing.

"Tech Company" is looking to hire someone that knows technologies A, B, and C to use to make a product that's also intended to make money (allegedly).

If that's not good enough, I ask again, what is? What do you really want in a prospective junior developer?

Ridiculous.
