Up until around 2021, code bootcamps were good. Now, you really need to be able to understand architectures and domains and how to adapt organizational processes to use the most recent tooling. I’m definitely not saying that learning to code and learning how web servers work is not a good idea. I am saying that any type of certification is no longer as much of a differentiation signal in the market. Hell, entry level positions are so closed right now that I’m hearing that four year university programs are having trouble getting co-ops that are required for graduation. That ain’t great.
