Hope for bootcamp grads

1. Yes I'm not strong in emotional intelligence. I'm one of the most productive engineers in the entire world and that has come with some major drawbacks. I don't have a lot of friends, but when I say I know what I'm talking about, I mean it, I know what I'm talking about, and people listen. 2. I have not attended a bootcamp. I have worked with hundreds of bootcamp grads from dozens of bootcamps. I've talked to numerous founders of bootcamps. My partner has mentored at bootcamps. I've interviewed bootcamp grads for jobs. I've studied a couple of bootcamps in absurd depth and know those ones inside and out. 3. My advice if you want to become a modern canonical software engineer? Well if you worked ar Applebees and you want to be a Medical Doctor and you asked your primary care physician how you can become a doctor, what do you expect? I'm sure some people do the pivot but not many. If you want to be a real software engineer right now, you are committing to something lifelong. If you want to do it for get rich quick there is a high chance you will be coming back to me in 5 years without a job and in a panic and figuring out your next career switch because you didn't enter for the right reasons. 4. There are many engineers as capable as me yes, but they haven't succeeded on paper as much as I have. MY LIFE'S MISSION IS TO NURTURE THOSE PEOPLE TO BE MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN ME. Nurture amazing talent into more amazing talent. I'm clearly not communicating this clearly. I'm not discouraging people from making better lives! I'm discouraging people that are going into SWE for the wrong reasons from seeing an ad for a bootcamp that makes it sound like they will go from $0 to $150K in six months, and then the CEO tells you personally "trust me it works look at our data!" and it's all bullshit. If you join for the right reasons I'm ALL FOR IT!
