I think a slight clarification would be in order here: motivation and attitude are huge weighting factors in our selection process, but another important part is that we feel you can learn enough in ten weeks to be able to get a job. This doesn't require any programming skill, and the bulk of our students have little to none, but we definitely look for problem solving ability. Anyone can learn to code, everyone should. Just not everybody can learn it in ten weeks. As we nail down the curriculum and improve our teaching we'll probably take on more challenging students, and move closer to the goal of assessing students based on attitude alone.
