Barely employable? ...Ruby/Rails/Full Stack jobs are so hard to fill it's insane. Starting salaries are in the $130-150k range for mid-level $150k plus for senior and even junior level is a six figure gig. Sure it'll take time to get to a hirable state but it's perfectly doable.

It's not "barely employable," and that's not what I said it was. Rather, it's a solid entry-level position at most agencies.

Also I don't think it's that tall of an order. These "bootcamps" are (arguably) cranking out graduates that (supposedly) know how to do that.

I taught myself over something like a year of spare time (I was in high school), although this was pre-frameworks. Also pre-really-good-tutorials.

Last, I've never been west of Oklahoma. I don't know what your "perspective" comment is on about.
