There’s not a real “curriculum” for AI assistants. You have to know what you’re doing to prompt it well and you need the skills to evaluate it for correctness. It’s all snake oil and anyone with actual dev skills knows it. That’s not saying it can’t be useful, but no one is li

I think there is an argument to make that AI stuff will have some kind of impact on the industry. The first person to figure "it' out and if "it" is large enough market, will have an advantage in the post AI world.
But I don't think people going to bootcamps and paying $10K to $25K to get a job soon should be impaced by companies trying to be first.
Well scratch that, I think it's up to the indivdual to acknowledge the risks that this approach might be "it" or might not be, and then decide to do it anyways.
"Snake oil" to me is selling the bootcamp as if they have figured "it" out already and not acknowledging the risk.
