This blog post is an insult to every developer out there. The blogger actually want us to believe that he just overheard a conversation, went home, googled what ever he said he heard and in 7 months became an expert and landed a job. So in my professional opinion, and i do get to say that as opposed to the blogger since i actually studied Computer science and been a developer for 20 YEARS, that his story is a work of fiction, or the company that hired him is one of those startups that just hires anyone that walks in the door like most of them these days. A developer needs time not just to learn a language, trust me once you learn one you learned em all, you just need to get used to the new environment and light changes in syntax. What you need time for is to learn the LOGIC of our trade and learn how to fix errors and how to improve/optimize your code. And all of these things come with time and effort and no amount of facebook posts or reading books could teach you that. |

Ding ding ding.
You could replace startups with company though, because there are loads of companies of different ages that would hire someone with only 7 months of self study of programming.
Cause the thing is that the industry is starving for software developers. Those that are not employed either live in rural areas without jobs in general, aren't trying, or are just unbelievably bad at job interviews or work overall.
