I don't know where he lives, but I am Canadian so I find it laughable that someone with a few-week bootcamp and a few years of on-the-job coding experience can call himself an engineer in the USA. In Canada "engineer" is a title with serious requirements and responsibilities. I don't see the Bay Area coder crowd rushing to take responsibilities like "if the bridge I design falls, I can be sued and/or lose my license."

Are you American? What does that mean to you?
I’m not American but I don’t think that’s relevant here.
