2024 Bootcamp Predictions Mega Post. Revisiting my 2023 prediction post and exploring what I see ahead for 2024. 2023 was a rough year for bootcamps and the future doesn't look great for traditional programs - 2024 will be a year of caution, but I'm optimistically excited to see what happens!

I don't recommend any specific programs broadly because it really depends on your.goals, your starting point, your natural affinity to programming, your location, your savings, your past work, your prior education, and more. So what I do recommend is doing as much free content as you can with a handful of the programs that appeal to you and getting to know exactly how they work, and seeing if any are aligned with you. Finally, in this market I recommend having the mindset of doing a bootcamp to learn and the outcome is a bonus, because bootcamps CAN control their education but CANNOT control the market. But you'll have to own your job hunt. In terms of free resources: I'm a fan of doing free I from courses from Harvard, Stanford, and MIT and following along with class notes and lecture archives from older sessions of the courses. This is for more academic minded people. For practical stuff, learn by building and something like Odin Project, where you build is great.
